Future Inventors, Researchers, Scientists
and Teachers

The project recruited 40 student and 10 teachers from Baltimore and Washington, DC inner city and neighborhood schools. The students were mentored by their teachers and through material provided by the National Inventors Hall of Fame. The students and their teachers were encouraged to develop concepts that demonstrated the trans-disciplinary nature of the research and invention process within the framework of a “Quality of Life’ theme. Students presented their inventions and business concepts to a panel of inductees from the NIHF in May and June of 2005. Inventions included solar powered remote controls for televisions and stereos, and safety devices for their younger siblings.
