Invention Convention
Imagination takes flight at our Invention Convention! Invention Convention is a special opportunity for Armstrong students to become inventors by using their problem solving and creative thinking skills. Students will be following a step-by-step process to invent a new product/idea or make an exciting product even better. Our Armstrong Eagles are working hard to solve big problems!
