Invention Convention lets students address problems
STEM Lab's Second Grade Invention Convention showcased students tackling some of the most complex global challenges of our time, like climate action, cybersecurity, water scarcity, food security and social-emotional health, along with "everyday" problems too!
Students learned problem-identification, problem-solving, entrepreneurship and creativity skills.
FiveStarSTEM envisions a day when EVERY child has the chance to follow their natural curiosity, invent, and creative solutions so they are empowered and become the next generation of inventors and changemakers.
Special thanks to the STEM Lab community for submitting this Five Star Story.
This story exemplifies our ELEVATE Focus Area: 21st Century Learners. Sharing stories of students who collaborate, think critically, problem-solve and are digitally literate to thrive in today’s ever-changing world.
