Frequently Asked Questions

Training is not required to run Invention Convention; however we strongly encourage educators new to the program to attend a training, which will provide an overview of how the program works as well as an opportunity to become familiar with our curriculum and some of the activities within. A training session is also a great way to connect with our staff and other invention educators and to expand your knowledge of invention education.


Most of our regular workshops are included in your program registration. Please refer to each sign up form for specifics. All workshops include light breakfast, lunch and parking where applicable. 


Reach out to us! We will work with you and/or your educators to ensure that you are ready to implement the program. While we encourage participation in an in-person training, we may be able to offer a virtual training for those unable to attend in person. Site-specific trainings may also be available for an additional fee.
