    The goal of the BEND-VENTION is to encourage students to investigate the world around them to solve real world problems. This promotes a creative spirit, while allowing students to express their ideas though building their own invention.  

    What is BEND-VENTION?

    Bend-vention is an enrichment opportunity for 3rd-6th graders.  Participating students will design an invention that will solve a problem in their daily life.  Students verify that their inventions have not already been invented through patent research.  Students will build their inventions staying under a budget of $15.00.  In addition, students will share their process, research, and marketing ideas on a poster or project board for display.
