Please remember to get a doctor's excuse to turn in to the school office if your child is absent for a medical or dental appointment.

Attention All Inventors in Grades K-5!!

Parents, if you are looking for a fun, creative, yet challenging program that integrates problem solving for your child, consider signing him/her up for the 2022-23 Invention Convention.

Participating in Invention Convention is a great opportunity for kids to sharpen their creative problem solving skills. Through the Invention League's Invention Convention Program your young inventor will be challenged to identify a problem, research an original solution, build a prototype and develop it into a marketable invention; he or she will evolve from inventor to an entrepreneur.

Students can work alone or in teams of two. Team members do not need to be in the same grade or in the same school.

The 2022-23 Delaware City Schools Invention Convention will be held in person. Inventors must have a finished project (completed journal, prototype of invention, and display board) and be ready for the judging competition on the morning of Thursday, March 23rd.

To see some past project examples click on the following links:

K-3rd inventions

4th & 5th inventions

Parents, get your child started on an invention for the 2022-23 Invention Convention by signing up and accessing more information through the following link:

Invention Convention Sign-Up

The deadline to sign up is Sunday, February 19th.
