Children's natural instinct to both take things apart and create from new should be nurtured by parents and teachers alike. Coming up with new product ideas and inventions is a great way to instill a love of science, math, marketing and the entrepreneurial spirit. It also teaches cooperation and instill tremendous confidence.
Invention help for kids can be found at invention summer camps like Camp Invention, invention contests for elementary through high school students like the Intel Science Talent Search, and at online invention sites like biglearning.com and sciencespot.net and bkfk.com.
Help inspire the inventors in your home or classroom.
