听鈥淎n invention has to make sense in the world it finishes in, not in the world it started.鈥 鈥擳ime O鈥橰eilly

In 1998, the Academy of Applied Science, United Inventors Association of America, and Inventors鈥 Digest magazine came together to bring us National Inventors Month. 鈥淲e 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,鈥 said the editor of Inventors鈥 Digest, Joanne Hayes-Rines.

Whether advancing the fields of science, technology, arts, or humanities, human ingenuity is fueled by the spark of genius, as well as these other key drivers. Check out examples of our own student inventors鈥 projects and how they each illustrate a different aspect of the inventing process.
