People may be born with creativity, but innovation is a craft which must be taught. Here at Inventionland, we believe anyone has the potential to be a great innovator, if given the proper tools to succeed. To that end, we’ve developed the Inventionland®Education Innovation Course, designed to unlock a student’s potential by engaging them in activities that enhance observation skills, problem-solving, communication and so much more.

This curriculum has been implemented by dozens of schools and, now, you and your colleagues can experience the course for free at our Day of Innovation. If you’re in the Pittsburgh area, or would like to make the trip, you can participate in our demonstration which includes STEM challenges, an in-depth discussion of innovation in the classroom, a demonstration of the curriculum and the opportunity to network with your colleagues.

There’s also an optional tour of the Inventionland®facilities, our theme park styled office space designed to unlock your inner creativity. You’ll see a castle, tree house, pirate ship- you name it. And who could say no to pizza?
