What’s Invention?
In the Invention event teams of 2–4 people create their own invention related to the theme of the year. The invention must be a device, robot, or application for which a working prototype is made. Teams can use any technologies, building components, and craft materials to create their invention.
Participants of early childhood education, preschool and elementary school age are welcome to participate in this category. In the regional tournament, teams will have the opportunity to present their invention and receive feedback. The jury will evaluate all inventions, and the best ones will be awarded in the national tournament.
