The 9th Annual 8th Grade Invention Convention was held on Thursday, December 12th. Students showed their creativity through the originality and production of their prototypes. You could clearly see each student's personality in their advertisement and sales pitch.
Students started the project with identifying a problem that their invention would solve. They conducted a patent search and made changes to their designs if they found similar inventions already on the market or already holding a patent.
These young entrepreneurs worked hard on their sales pitch in hopes of catching the attention of a potential investor (other students). After a hands-on demonstration, any one interested could view a presentation on the inventor's netbook.
