What is Invent Iowa?
As one of the state’s original Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs, Invent Iowa is a comprehensive, statewide program developed to support educators in promoting the invention process as part of their regular kindergarten through high school curriculum. Invent Iowa was initiated in 1987 through the support of state political, business, and educational leaders in response to the future of rapidly expanding technology. Since 1999, the Invent Iowa program has been a part of the Belin-Blank Center. We promote the use of Invent Iowa curriculum in programming for whole classes, specific groups, or individuals.
