Tell Us What Inspires You
Find Out How You Could Win More Than $22,000 in Prizes

Invention starts with inspiration and that’s where great teachers play a part. Discovery Education is proud to partner with the Ad Council in support of their Inspiring Invention contest.

Together with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the National Inventors Hall of Fame, we invite you to mentor students in middle and high school to get them excited about the process of invention.

Creativity counts! The contest asks you and your students to create a public service announcement that motivates others to get inspired and start inventing. Show us how invention enriches everyday life and your school could win a prize package from Sony Creative Software!

We’ve amassed excellent resources to get you, well, inspired! Start with lesson plans for elementary, middle and high school students. Then bring the famous inventors and their inventions into your classroom with biographies and historic documents.

Inspired to invent? Make good use of our Tool Box to create a PSA with your students and enter the contest. You’ll find tips and examples to get started and a FREE download of Sony video editing software. Hurry! Entries will be accepted through March 15th.
