INVENTION UNIVERSE

Invention Universe is a building community for playful inventors that is inspired by YouTube, MySpace and the computer game Spore... Virtual Community - an online virtual environment/community, Invention Universe, that safely allows young builders to post and share their projects and collaborate with other builders from around the world. Invention Universe is also a serious place to build a valuable school resume/portfolio... Our Mentor Network - a network of workshop specialists composed primarily of engineering, computer science and art students from Cornell, Harvard, MIT, Mass Art and other leading universities. We regularly seek and train college student specialists who demonstrate technical knowledge, who can relate to, teach, mentor and engage children, and who clearly stand out as role models for the next generation of builders. We effectively reproduce the college teaching assistant (TA) model for elementary and middle-school students.
