In Project Invent, high school students invent technologies that
solve real-world problems. We train mentors, publish resources,
run events, and connect communities to ensure students are
getting a transformative learning opportunity through inventing a
change. "Inventing Change," doesn't that sound more like the
class you'd envision for young learners in the digital age?


Project Invent empowers students with the 21st century skills to
succeed individually and impact globally. The goal is to create a
generation of fearless problem solvers.
