The Invention Convention is an annual event coordinated by Gifted/Talented (G/T) teachers Patricia Rosenhahn and Sarah Malczewski in which students in the G/T Program present ideas and concepts for new devices or products. Students from throughout the district took part in the local competition on March 9th and 15 finalists were selected to compete in the regional event on May 15th. Check out these photos to see these students' amazing ideas!
