Over the past year, middle school students from across the region have been creating solutions to the question: what will you make to improve life on this planet?

Through the process of designing their own inventions, students have learned to innovate, solve problems, and collaborate with others — all skills they’ll need to one day invent the future.

KID Museum, in partnership with Montgomery County Public Schools and The Universities at Shady Grove, are proud to present the Invent the Future Celebration – a day of activities, exhibitors, fun, and most importantly, a celebration of what innovations MCPS middle school students have created to improve life on our planet..

We invite everyone to join us at this free, community event to discover how the next generation is inventing the future.

To honor the achievements of the incredible students who are inventing the future, industry experts, community leaders, and school officials will be presenting teams with awards in a variety of categories including…

• Innovation
• Collaborative Design
• Presentation
• Local Changemaker
• Social Impact
• Call to Action

Join us for the ceremony, hear from inspirational speakers, and find out if your favorite invention takes home an award.

Invent the Future is one of the DC Metro region’s largest maker challenges integrating science, technology, engineering, and design.

Through the process of designing their own inventions, students learn to innovate, solve problems, gain confidence, engender compassion, and work with others — all skills for future success.
