Teaching the unique ways inventors find and solve problems - to everyone

Invention Education is a powerful educational approach that teaches the unique ways inventors find and solve problems. When students experience this approach, they become more engaged in their learning, more inclusive in their thinking, and more prepared for a future of rapid change and uncertainty.

Our children face a future of new, more demanding, and increasingly complex problems – climate change, global health, sustainable business, poverty, and more. Solving these problems will require agile thinkers with diverse perspectives and life experiences, and an ability to identify and acquire the new, yet unknown knowledge needed to operate and create tomorrow’s technologies and industries.

Skills like leadership, teamwork, empathy and resilience will be needed to prepare students to succeed in the future. At the same time, our educational system risks growing increasingly out of step with the needs of life and work in the 21st century. Invention Education offers a powerful approach to bridge this gap and tap into the latent creative potential within every student.
