<p class="p1"><span class="s1">National STEM Day (November 8) is the perfect spark for curiosity. But what if that spark became a flame that burned all year long? Inventionland Education’s Innovation Science Course helps elementary, middle, and high school classrooms do exactly that. Built around hands-on invention, real-world problem solving, and student creativity, the course turns National STEM Day into a year-round event.</span></p>

<h3 class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>A clear path to learning Innovation Science</b></span></h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-21600 alignright" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/icon-beaker.png" alt="" width="144" height="144" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/icon-beaker.png 216w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/icon-beaker-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 144px) 100vw, 144px" />The Innovation Science Course guides students through an exciting process that mirrors how real innovators work, moving from problem discovery to ideation, prototyping, testing, and storytelling. Young learners investigate everyday challenges in their homes, schools, and communities. Middle schoolers build confidence with more structured, creative design challenges using various materials. High school students level up with deeper research, more advanced inventions, and pitch-ready presentations. Across all levels, students learn to think like scientists and create like inventors.</span></p>

<h3 class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>STEM that connects to every classroom</b></span></h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Innovation isn’t a silo. The course intentionally blends STEM with literacy, art, and entrepreneurship so students see how innovation science shows up in the real world.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-24922 size-medium_large" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Video-Capture-2023-12-06-edit-768x432.jpg" alt="Students and teacher discussion" width="768" height="432" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Video-Capture-2023-12-06-edit-768x432.jpg 768w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Video-Capture-2023-12-06-edit-300x169.jpg 300w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Video-Capture-2023-12-06-edit-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Video-Capture-2023-12-06-edit-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Video-Capture-2023-12-06-edit-18x10.jpg 18w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Video-Capture-2023-12-06-edit.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></p>
<h3 class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Empowered teachers equal engaged students</b></span></h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">When students are invited to solve problems they care about, engagement rises dramatically. When teachers have a structure and rich resources, confidence follows. The Innovation Science Course supports both through professional learning using readily available materials and a supportive community of professionals working in STEM fields who share ideas, exemplars, and encouragement. The result is a classroom where students are excited, educators are facilitators, and innovation flourishes.</span></p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-25982 size-medium_large" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/middle-school-1st-place-768x560.jpg" alt="middle school 1st place" width="768" height="560" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/middle-school-1st-place-768x560.jpg 768w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/middle-school-1st-place-300x219.jpg 300w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/middle-school-1st-place-1024x747.jpg 1024w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/middle-school-1st-place-16x12.jpg 16w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/middle-school-1st-place.jpg 1056w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></p>
<h3 class="p3"><span class="s1">How It All Began</span></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-19270 alignright" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/rocket.png" alt="" width="105" height="76" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/rocket.png 662w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/rocket-300x218.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 105px) 100vw, 105px" /></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Grove City Middle School first became involved with Inventionland Education seven to eight years ago after Superintendent Dr. Joshua Weaver and his leadership team visited Inventionland&#8217;s world-class facility and immediately saw the potential to engage students in new and exciting ways. Inspired by Inventionland&#8217;s innovative spaces and the sheer number of products it has brought to the market, Grove City began integrating the applied <a href="/courseware-k-12">STEM inventing curriculum</a> into its middle school program.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">From the beginning, both administration and teachers sought to give students more opportunities in STEAM-related activities, critical thinking, and collaboration. The Inventionland course checked every box, offering a unique way to prepare students for the future.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26118 size-medium_large" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Principal-Larry-Connelly-768x432.jpg" alt="Principal Larry Connelly" width="768" height="432" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Principal-Larry-Connelly-768x432.jpg 768w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Principal-Larry-Connelly-300x169.jpg 300w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Principal-Larry-Connelly-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Principal-Larry-Connelly-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Principal-Larry-Connelly-18x10.jpg 18w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Principal-Larry-Connelly.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></p>
<h3 class="p3"><span class="s1">Student-driven, Teacher Facilitated</span></h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Principal Larry Connelly highlighted one of his favorite aspects of the program: the students are the ones leading the classroom. Unlike traditional classes where the teacher explains everything, in the Inventionland course, students tell the story of their inventions, lead the process, and present their ideas. Teachers serve as guides, but the energy and ownership come from the kids themselves.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26117 size-medium_large" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/karen-garland-still-768x432.jpg" alt="Karen Garland" width="768" height="432" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/karen-garland-still-768x432.jpg 768w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/karen-garland-still-300x169.jpg 300w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/karen-garland-still-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/karen-garland-still-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/karen-garland-still-18x10.jpg 18w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/karen-garland-still.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Karen Garland, who teaches the course along with fellow educator Ben English, has seen firsthand how excited students are to participate. &#8220;Sixth graders come into the school eager to brainstorm inventions years before they are eligible to take the class in eighth grade. By the time they officially enter the program, their anticipation and motivation are high,&#8221; Karen shared. She also loves the flexibility provided by school leadership, which allows them to experiment, learn, and refine their approach over the years.</span></p>
<h3 class="p3"><span class="s1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2925 size-medium_large" style="font-size: 16px;" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Karen-Garland-and-Ben-English-Grove-City-School-District-Inventionland-Institute-Teacher-Feature-22-768x512.jpg" alt="" width="768" height="512" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Karen-Garland-and-Ben-English-Grove-City-School-District-Inventionland-Institute-Teacher-Feature-22-768x512.jpg 768w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Karen-Garland-and-Ben-English-Grove-City-School-District-Inventionland-Institute-Teacher-Feature-22-300x200.jpg 300w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Karen-Garland-and-Ben-English-Grove-City-School-District-Inventionland-Institute-Teacher-Feature-22.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" />Real Outcomes, Real Growth, and Real Licensing Agreements</span></h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Inventionland Education curriculum is built around a nine-step inventing method, where students work in teams to develop, pitch, and showcase their creations. But the program&#8217;s real impact goes beyond projects.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The program doesn&#8217;t just stay within school walls. Grove City students collaborate with local businesses, engineers, and professionals. From candy makers to optical companies, the community has played a vital role in providing students with real-world insights. This partnership approach connects students with industry, making their work more authentic and impactful.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Parents, too, have been enthusiastic supporters.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Both Larry Connelly and Karen Garland believe the program represents the future of education: competency-based learning, customization, and freedom to think. Rather than focusing on test scores or memorization, students are encouraged to explore, create, and problem-solve. The skills developed in this environment, including critical thinking, communication, and collaboration, are precisely what students need for success in high school, college, careers, and life.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">As George Davison summed it up, Inventionland Education&#8217;s Applied <a href="/courseware-k-12">STEM Innovation Curriculum</a> is more than a class. It&#8217;s a movement that empowers students, strengthens schools, and brings communities together through innovation. And at Grove City Middle School, it&#8217;s creating proud moments, lasting memories, and a future filled with possibilities.</span></p>

Yet many K-12 classrooms are still operating with 19th-century models, leaving a critical gap between the skills students are taught and what modern employers need.</span></p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-21590 alignright" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/icon-thinking.png" alt="icon-thinking" width="104" height="104" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/icon-thinking.png 216w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/icon-thinking-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 104px) 100vw, 104px" /></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">According to the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), today’s fastest-growing industries depend on a person’s ability to “think unconventionally” and “produce astonishing work.” So, how can educators bridge that gap?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-24349 size-medium_large" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/connoquenessingSMALL-9-768x512.jpg" alt="Applied STEM K-12 Curriculum" width="768" height="512" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/connoquenessingSMALL-9-768x512.jpg 768w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/connoquenessingSMALL-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/connoquenessingSMALL-9-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/connoquenessingSMALL-9-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/connoquenessingSMALL-9-18x12.jpg 18w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/connoquenessingSMALL-9.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" />The answer may lie in teaching invention and innovation directly—skills that encourage students to think critically, collaborate, and solve real-world problems. Project-based learning (PBL), when paired with immersive environments and purpose-driven curriculum, offers an ideal platform to help students move beyond rote memorization and into a space of discovery, creativity, and application.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-24961 size-medium_large" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/video-capture-02-230614-2-768x453.jpg" alt="students collaborate on an assignment" width="768" height="453" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/video-capture-02-230614-2-768x453.jpg 768w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/video-capture-02-230614-2-300x177.jpg 300w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/video-capture-02-230614-2-1024x604.jpg 1024w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/video-capture-02-230614-2-1536x905.jpg 1536w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/video-capture-02-230614-2-18x12.jpg 18w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/video-capture-02-230614-2.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Unfortunately, many teachers find themselves limited by rigid schedules, testing requirements, and a lack of resources. Even when schools add makerspaces or STEM labs, they often lack the structured curriculum necessary to transform those spaces into innovation centers. Without clear guidance and purpose, even the most exciting tools risk being underutilized.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-25960 size-full" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Preparing-Students-with-Invention-and-Innovation-a-white-paper-220224-2.jpg" alt="Photo shoot" width="521" height="361" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Preparing-Students-with-Invention-and-Innovation-a-white-paper-220224-2.jpg 521w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Preparing-Students-with-Invention-and-Innovation-a-white-paper-220224-2-300x208.jpg 300w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Preparing-Students-with-Invention-and-Innovation-a-white-paper-220224-2-18x12.jpg 18w" sizes="(max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px" />That’s where Inventionland Education steps in. Drawing on over 30 years of experience in real-world product development, Inventionland has created an applied STEM <a href="/courseware-k-12">invention curriculum</a> that guides students through the entire 9-step inventing method.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-24789 alignright" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/applied-STEM-240x325-1.jpg" alt="applied STEM" width="206" height="279" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/applied-STEM-240x325-1.jpg 240w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/applied-STEM-240x325-1-222x300.jpg 222w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/applied-STEM-240x325-1-9x12.jpg 9w" sizes="(max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px" />This course is designed to be student-driven, extremely collaborative, and engaging, as students of all skill levels and learning styles learn about innovation and inventing.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Equally important is the physical space where learning happens. Traditional classrooms, with rows of desks and teacher-centered instruction, don’t lend themselves to innovation. By contrast, immersive learning spaces like the Creative Innovation Research Center (CIRC) at Haine Elementary or the Innovation Lab at Leechburg High School provide students with opportunities to explore, create, and collaborate. These environments spark curiosity and foster a sense of ownership, leading to deeper learning and improved student outcomes.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-25961 size-medium_large" src="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Teacher-and-student-GCMS-IL-EDU-MARKETING-768x432.jpg" alt="Teacher and student" width="768" height="432" srcset="https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Teacher-and-student-GCMS-IL-EDU-MARKETING-768x432.jpg 768w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Teacher-and-student-GCMS-IL-EDU-MARKETING-300x169.jpg 300w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Teacher-and-student-GCMS-IL-EDU-MARKETING-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Teacher-and-student-GCMS-IL-EDU-MARKETING-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Teacher-and-student-GCMS-IL-EDU-MARKETING-18x10.jpg 18w, https://inventionlandeducation.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Teacher-and-student-GCMS-IL-EDU-MARKETING.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" />Research shows that project-based, innovation-focused classrooms deliver a host of benefits:</span></p>
<ul class="ul1">
