Status: Active
Deadline: April 24, 2009

Application process for 2010 InvenTeams is now underway. Students and teachers at high schools across the U.S. are eligible to become an InvenTeam and work on an invention project in the 2009-10 academic year.

Each team would receive a grant of up to $10,000.

Invention Ideas
InvenTeam projects span many fields from assistive devices to environmental technologies and consumer goods. Applicants are encouraged to consider needs of the world’s poorest people (those earning $2/day) when brainstorming invention ideas. Some InvenTeams pursue inventions that also augment STEM curriculum such as Project Lead the Way. See former InvenTeams and their invention projects.
