Project Invent™is a national nonprofit that empowers students nationwide to invent technologies that make a difference. We train and support educators to run programs where students identify a real problem in their community and invent a human-centered, technology solution. This podcast will feature the stories of teachers from across the country who have brought Project Invent into their classrooms, and the impact it's had on their students.
Educators who step into the shoes of a “Co-Learner” learn alongside their students. When these educators run into a question that they don’t have an answer to, they demonstrate humility and excitement about the potential to learn something new. When educators are willing to learn with their students, students see a role model who is willing to push through the tough “I don’t know what to do next” phases of the invention process.

Push to the Next Level
At Project Invent, educators “Push to the Next Level” by encouraging their students to reject “good enough.” Our educators believe that students can build impactful products and solutions – deserving of funding and awards! – and they continuously help students remove any mental blocks getting in the way of their own aspirations. When students are pushed to the next level, they are given an opportunity to develop an intrinsic sense of ambition, built upon their own self-confidence.

Let Students Take the Wheel
Educators who “Let Students Take the Wheel” consistently embrace the role of the facilitator, resisting the urge to solve problems or remove obstacles for their students. In a student-driven classroom, students are trying new skills without waiting for a teacher-led demonstration, leading student meetings, and working on projects outside of allotted class time. When educators take their hands off the wheel, they give students opportunities to develop agency.
