Invention education refers to a teaching approach that integrates the process of inventing into the curriculum to develop students' creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, and innovation skills. It is designed to encourage students to think like inventors by identifying real-world problems, brainstorming solutions, prototyping, and iterating on their ideas.
Innovation Station Kits are designed to provide adults with the tools to teach Invention Education in a hands-on, engaging way. These kits challenge kids to solve real-world problems creatively, without relying on technology, making them ideal for teachers, educators, and after school professionals seeking to enhance their invention programs.
Currently, the series includes four kits filled with 4 different activities: Understanding Problems, Creating Solutions, Let’s Invent, and Pitch Your Product. Each kit contains a relatable story featuring two characters facing a problem, guided activities, worksheets to lead the invention process, supervisor resources, and crafting supplies.
