The Invent the Future Challenge has gone virtual! Interested in participating? Let us know.
What is the Invent the Future Challenge?
Each year, more than 800 middle school students from across the region invent solutions to the design challenge:
What will you make to protect life on this planet?
Through the process of designing their own inventions, students learn to innovate, solve problems, gain confidence, and work with others — all skills for future success.
Be a part of one of the region’s largest science, design, and engineering challenges for middle school students.
