Goal

The Thomas A. Edison Festival of Light Regional Inventors Fair is an opportunity for students to “create a new idea and bring it to fruition. I will be facilitating the process in my classroom 2021-2022 school year.


"In a rapidly changing, highly competitive world, new ideas must be generated in every aspect of a business to keep it healthy. Most successful businesses constantly assess and reinvent themselves" ~https://edisonfairs.org/rif/

Students will solve a problem through research, innovation and hands-on STEM application. Students will create a video showcasing their work to enter into the Thomas Edison Inventor's Fair. Students will follow the following process:
1.Identifying a Problem
