High School: Inventing and Patent Creation

Inventing and Patent Creation will dive into the thought process of designers and inventors by researching components important to them and how they were able to make their ideas profitable.

 

Inventing and Patent Creation will expose students to the inner thought processes of designers and inventors who developed their own ideas which then became profitable. Students will examine the basic research components important to researchers, designers and inventors. Throughout the course, students will learn about the importance of brainstorming, developing a line of logic, using reputable citations and sources, and how to conduct a literature and prior art review. By the end of the course, students will have a practical experience by drafting their own patent application.
