Why Should I be an Inventor?

The Benefits of Inventing

  • It's your project. You guide your process and learning. You can invent something you always dreamed of making a reality.
  • You will learn how to present a product and improve your speaking skills.
  • Make a mark on the world and give back. Most inventions  make life easier or help people.
  • You can be creative! Invention is not only for scientists. We have seen music inventions, inventions for sports, apps, kitchen products, and much more. The program celebrates all types of inventions!
  • This is your chance to show the world what you can do. You will gain valuable skills and opportunities through CIC. Many inventors meet mentors through their process. Many inventors appear on local and national media!
  • You do not have to be an A plus student to be the best inventor. Inventors think outside of the box to solve problems for the ones they love or their communities. This requires a type of thinking they might not be measured in your school tests. Even the best inventors fail and overcome challenges. Invention is a safe place to fail forward!

Inventions always start with a problem to be solved, and sometimes it isn’t easy coming up with a solution. However, once you do, the results can be extremely rewarding. Our inventors have gone on to be scientists and launch their own companies, but the most rewarding part remains the process itself!
