Below is our Invention Education Cookbook - a digital repository that contains recipes (lessons, links, ideas and resources) for hands-on literature-based invention lessons that can be done right in the classroom. These lessons have been created by fellow educators that have participated in our Professional Development programs or have been taught by participants. Click on the books and explore the lessons.
Click on the example above to learn how to create your own Cookbook Lesson on your favorite book.

Hear What People Are Saying...
"Where to begin... students seeing that they have what it takes to be an inventor - Finding problems to solve in their day to day lives..... Creating an invention, AMAZING! "
"Learning that there is literature out there to support Invention Ed is great!"
" I'm encouraged that there are educators that see and value, the importance of this type of education.
Our learners will benefit! When we model these habits and actions-- it just becomes who they are."
