reconnect, reimagine, reinvigorate
Tuesday, November 15 - Thursday, November 17
Our theme, Reconnect, Reimagine, Reinvigorate captures the energy and spirit of our community to continue connecting, learning from each other, and collaborating to jointly build the field of Invention Education.
InventEd’s vision is to cultivate the inventive mindset that exists in everyone. In collaboration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, this year’s convening will celebrate progress toward achieving that vision, and explore where our community goes next to build awareness and advocate for Invention Education across K-12 learning environments.
Whether joining in-person or virtually, participants can expect an inclusive experience in which to build new connections, opportunities to reimagine and workshop new ideas, and to walk away reinvigorated to build and support Invention Education across learning environments and communities. See below for further details on the in-person and virtual experiences.
