INVENTION PROGRAMS

Our Invention Programs are offered at both the elementary and middle school level, creating a powerful learning continuum.

KID Museum’s Invention Programs integrate STEM, design, and social responsibility, along with social-emotional learning. Across multiple hands-on sessions, students are guided through the invention process — designing, developing, prototyping, and troubleshooting their ideas. Throughout this process, students learn how to innovate, solve problems, gain confidence, develop a deeper sense of empathy, and collaborate with others — skills important for their future success.
