A Transformative Opportunity for K-12 Schools

The Inventionland® Education Innovation Grant Cycle is more than just a stackable or supplemental grant. It’s a catalyst for reshaping teaching environments and elevating student engagement. It helps schools cover part of the costs associated with implementing immersive educational experiences, from designing state-of-the-art labs to professional learning for educators.

Here’s a closer look at what the grant offers. If you apply and are awarded the grant, you become eligible for all three parts but can pick and choose any one, two, or all three elements.

Immersive Innovation Labs®

One of the primary elements of the grant is helping to cover some of the costs of creating our Innovation Labs®, dynamic spaces where students can brainstorm, collaborate, and bring their ideas to life.

Beyond traditional classrooms, these labs provide tools and technology that inspire creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

While the grant doesn’t cover the full cost, it significantly reduces the financial burden, making it easier for schools to implement these transformative spaces.

It can also be applied to CTE and career readiness centers, a vast growth segment in K-12 education, as we help prepare students for the future.

Applied-STEM Curriculum

The Inventionland® Education K-12 Applied-STEM curriculum seamlessly integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into real-world problem-solving and invention scenarios. Students learn by ideating their own inventions or innovations while working in small groups.

They learn a proprietary nine-step method to develop a prototype product that mirrors professional innovation processes used at Inventionland, one of the world’s largest design and invention companies.

This curriculum deepens students’ understanding of STEM concepts and prepares them for a future job market that values creativity, collaboration, and adaptability. Through the grant, schools can offset approximately 33% of the curriculum’s cost, making this world-class resource more accessible.

Professional Learning

The grant also offsets some of the cost of professional learning Teachers receive training to use maker machines, integrate project-based learning strategies, and introduce innovation to their classrooms.

Inventionland® Education provides K-12 educators with an engaging STEM/STEAM-based curriculum that’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Using our proprietary 9-step method, student groups work through the immersive process of bringing innovation to life in a real-world environment that inspires creativity, teamwork, and critical-thinking skills.

Aligned to state standards, it leverages the same key concepts used by Inventionland®for over 30 years in helping corporations turn ideas into actual products. Students use these concepts to develop their idea into a fully-formed products, applying STEM/STEAM learning while learning crucial career and life skills along the way.

The course is student-driven and teaches the fundamentals of inventing, innovation, and entrepreneurship, culminating in an actual business pitch during a final Invention Contest. You could think of it as a science fair combined with Shark Tank.

A Class Loved by Students and Educators Alike

Teachers do not need to have previous “making” or “innovation” experience with this course. All that’s needed is an inquiring mind, observation skills, and the ability to inspire creativity in their students.

Students learn how to work together, leveraging the strengths of everyone in their group to bring an idea to market. This develops some of the most in-demand soft skills needed by future employers, including communication (both listening and speaking), brainstorming, problem-solving, teamwork, empathy, leadership, conflict resolution, decision-making, and more.

Working and contributing as a team emulates some of the most crucial real-work situations required for STEM/STEAM careers.
