After students at Forest Avenue Elementary School were inspired by a Zoom with the inventor of the Post-it, the schools hosted their own Invention Convention. 

Working with library media specialist Andrea Francisco, students brainstormed and collaborated to find different ways for solving everyday problems. Once they thought of an idea, students went home and worked together with their families to come up with a solution. 

On Feb. 11, participants showed off their designs and innovations during the first Invention Convention. They were able to demonstrate their latest inventions to the school as different grade levels visited the gymnasium. Both their creativity and critical thinking skills were on display for their classmates and visitors.
