The Massachusetts Invention Convention, powered by Lemelson-MIT, is a K-12 invention education program. The program is designed to develop, encourage, and enhance creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills through invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Invention provides students with a unique means to develop new skill sets and creatively apply them in real-life settings while nurturing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Educators who wish to lead Invention Convention with their students are encouraged to attend one of three fee-waived professional development sessions in January 2021. These are two-hour sessions designed to equip educators with the information needed to bring the Invention Convention program to their students, schools, after-school programs, homeschool groups, or communities.  

Pick one out of the dates below to attend. There is no fee to attend.
