Students who advance from the UA Convention will participate in the Columbus Regional Invention Convention at COSI on May 21st.
Requirements
Students must complete journal (Download journal online at http://www.just-think-inc.com/)
Make a model of your invention. The model does NOT have to work, but must illustrate how the invention would work if the model was operational.
- Models must fit on a table top.
- Models cannot be larger than 2 feet by 3 feet.
- Electricity will NOT be available to inventors, but students may use batteries.
Display boards are not required, but are highly recommended. Display boards should document the invention process and questions in journal.
Students may work in a team of two. However, both students must attend each convention or they will be disqualified. I encourage students to work as individuals because I have had teams where one member was ill and the other student could not participate. It is a great idea to share your ideas and see if your friends can give you new ideas.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help. Participants will be encouraged to share their inventions, prototypes, and display boards the Friday before competition. The class will ask them questions to better prepare them for the judges.
