InventWorks: Design, Build, Invent!
What if you could invent something that solves a real-world problem? In this hands-on STEM program, students work in small teams to tackle exciting design challenges using Human-Centered Design strategies used by real engineers and inventors.
Participants brainstorm ideas, sketch designs, build prototypes, test their creations, and refine their solutions through iterative problem-solving. Along the way, students explore creativity, collaboration, and engineering thinking while learning how to turn ideas into tangible inventions.
By the end of the week, teams integrate their findings into interactive presentations and showcase their inventions to families. This immersive program encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and teamwork, giving young inventors the confidence and skills to take imaginative ideas from concept to reality.
Instructors: Daniel Schindler & Whitman College’s Human Centered Design students
Location: Water & Environmental Center Bldg. R Lobby
