Invention Convention

Second through fifth grade students from Franklin Regional Elementary Schools applied problem-solving strategies to develop a practical invention for the December 8th Invention Convention. The county competition, hosted by Yough School District, required the students to create a model or drawing of an invention and prepare a marketing strategy describing the invention. Students were judged within their grade levels and four Heritage students received ribbons and certificates for their efforts. All inventions submitted will move on to the state level.
Congratulations to all winners and all the participants in this year’s Invention Convention!

In fourth grade, Anna P. combined efforts with a friend from Sloan (Sophia I.) and they placed first with their Cardiac Alert invention.


This invention... Fourth grader Riley B. took second place for her Toothy Toothbrush Holder - a fun and efficient way to help children put toothpaste on the toothbrush without getting it all over the counter. 


Third grader, Christopher W., earned an Honorable Mention for his Helping Hand - an aid to help kid pouring a drink from a heavy or full container. 


In second grade, Tanisha N. received a second place ribbon for her Tube Tip  - a mess-free and decorative toothpaste tube tip.  
Additional students participating in the event included Katelynn H., Julianne L., Nick M., Aadi A., Anika J. and Harper L.
