The Invention Convention curriculum is a free, hands-on program that teaches K–12 students how to identify real-world problems, research solutions, design and build prototypes, test their ideas, and communicate their results using a seven-step invention process. It promotes critical thinking, creativity, and entrepreneurship through flexible lesson plans, invention logs, and educator resources, all supported by inHub’s professional development and innovation-focused tools. This framework helps teachers guide students through meaningful, problem-based learning that fits easily into agriculture programs and connects to STEM and real-world industry needs.
