INVENT THE FUTURE
PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Make an impact where it matters
KID Museum’s Invent the Future program is one of the region’s largest maker challenges, integrating science, technology, engineering and design for middle school students. In a semester-long program, students work in teams of 3 to 6 to develop original solutions to the challenge question and create models of their inventions.
The culmination of the program is the Invent the Future Expo that takes place on June 2, 2024, and brings together 2,000 students, local families, educators, community leaders and elected officials – and innovative corporate leaders.

Why Engage with Invent the Future
Developing the Future Workforce
Development of strong talent pipelines that can succeed in the future is a priority for everyone. Through the Invent the Future program, students gain real-world experience and exposure to future careers.
Engaging Your Employees to Make a Difference
Today’s employers are looking for unique ways to drive employee engagement and further meaningful organizational missions that align with their values.
Supporting Deep STEM Learning at a Critical Time
Middle school students are making choices that impact their higher education and career paths. The 55 hours of hands-on, STEM-focused learning engages students through engineering design, coding, fabrication, and prototype development.
Addressing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Gaps
To build a more inclusive future workforce, the Invent the Future program prioritizes populations traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields. Last year, nearly 70% of the program’s participants were Black or Latinx, and over 50% were recipients of Free or Reduced Priced Meals (FARMs).
59
of the students reached through Invent the Future are from under-resourced communities.
