Have a young inventor?

Many gifted children have creative problem solving skills and innovative ideas. Are you looking for ideas to encourage and celebrate these skills? August is National Inventor’s Month. Now is a great time to reflect on the many inventions that have changed our lives and discuss with children the importance of creativity.

We want to recognize those talented, brave individuals who dare to be blatantly creative, and therefore different, and whose accomplishments affect every facet of our lives
— Joanne Hayes-Rines, editor of Inventors’ Digest.
