Terra Science and Education became New York Affiliate of Invention Convention Worldwide

Posted on December 2, 2025

Terra offers Free Innovation Education

Terra Science and Education is thrilled to share that Invention Convention New York (IC-NY) has officially joined Invention Convention Worldwide as an affiliate, expanding opportunities for young innovators across our state! 💡

At its core, IC-NY empowers K–12 students to become inventors, entrepreneurs, and problem-solvers by creating cardboard prototypes to prove the concept. Through our FREE Invention Education Curriculum and FREE professional development for educators, we support invention learning anywhere—
- schools
- after-school programs
- summer camps
- homeschool environments

In just 8–9 weeks, students identify a problem they care about, create an innovation, and develop a compelling pitch. Along the way, they build critical skills in creativity, engineering, entrepreneurship, and communication. They will even have the opportunity to submit a patent application; more than 40 kids nationwide already have one.

Students then have the chance to showcase their work at regional, state, and national Invention Conventions, joining a global community of young changemakers.
