Invention Convention
Before break our 6th graders presented their brilliant ideas at the annual Invention Convention. Ideas ranged from a robotic maple syrup spreader that guarantees the perfect pancake to a whiteboard eraser with a compartment to store your markers! These students used innovation, creativity, and scientific thinking to come up with some truly impressive inventions. Way to go, 6th grade!
