Kids Invent! is the world's leading provider of
innovation based learning activities that stimulate the creative
interests and abilities of children ages 7 - 15. We develop, publish
and distribute learning activities for after school, in school, home
school, summer, holiday and vacation camps, museum workshops, clubs
and special event programs.
Kids Invent! Learning Activities foster
learning experiences that are as engrossing and entertaining as they
are educational. To achieve this unique blend of education,
invention, and entrepreneurship Kids Invent! has adopted the
learning model used by Thomas Edison and thousands of other
inventors, and applied it to learning for kids.

for California State University, Fresno, California. Their goal was
to stimulate learning by having kids experience the creative and
entrepreneurial excitement that drives inventors. Interest at other
universities, science museums, and schools throughout the US led
them to expand the curriculum and distribute it through a company,
