For Students

The Stria team of eleven students smiles around a table, displaying a presentation on a laptop to the viewer.

Project Invent is a nationwide organization that empowers students like you to be changemakers. 

You can develop innovative solutions that make the world a better place. Project Invent is a nationwide organization that supports high school students to invent technologies for social good. Most of our students start with no engineering experience and end the year with a product they pitch to top investors. As a student on a Project Invent team, you spend a full year taking a human-centered approach to developing a technology solution to solve a need in your community. You will work directly with people in your neighborhoods to invent solutions that create a better, safer, more equitable world.

Here is a team’s Project Invent journey:

"Project Invent has not only developed me as a confident creative thinker, but also empowered me to use my talents and abilities for others. The sense of fulfillment after designing for a human need is incredibly special."

-Noah T, 10th grade

 So you want a Project Invent team?

To start a team you need to find a mentor. This can be a teacher, after school coordinator, coach, or any adult that is willing to help a group of students go through the year-long process.  Here are some tips on how you can use your student agency to advocate for this:

  1. Identify a teacher mentor. You don’t have to just talk to science teachers! Some of our most successful teams were mentored by non-science teachers. 

  2. Schedule a time to talk with the teacher and show them the Project Invent website. 

  3. Share your motivation as a student to have a Project Invent team at your school, tell the teachers what ideas you already have for partners in the community.
