AGENDA

Our Convening theme, Sparking Bold Solutions Together, embodies the spirit of innovation within us all. More than ever, we must unite as a community dedicated to cultivating the inventive mindset that exists in every student. It’s time to be bold, think big and develop solutions to tackle the challenges our field is facing today.

Taking place in Portland, you can expect an immersive experience where you’ll learn more about Oregon’s invention education ecosystem and what it takes to build and sustain invention education in classrooms, programs and communities. We’ll challenge you to think outside the box and beyond your organization to build new partnerships, workshop creative ideas, and advance the field with new knowledge. You’ll leave reinvigorated and ready to apply bold new solutions in your school, organization or field of work.

Explore our agenda below. For a sneak preview of some of our session highlights, read about our community-led Spark Talks, Breakout Sessions, and Pre-Convening workshops.

Who Should Attend: This convening blends inspiration, learning, and hands-on engagement. It is ideally suited for practitioners, researchers, program representatives, funders, advocates, and others who have a background understanding of invention education and are interested in building this field of practice.

Join us as we create the future of invention education, together.
