I love the Inventor Academy! This year I am teaching as a first-year teacher and this has been so helpful to me. Before starting, I was nervous about my leadership skills and my ability to lead a technology program at school. My students are so engaged and excited to learn. We have been learning robotics, coding, and design thinking. The activities are fun and hands on!

“This program has definitely taught me to be a more outgoing and friendly person, and that’s helped me a lot because I’m usually pretty quiet and keep to myself.
My favourite memory was designing and building a V8 engine that I 3D printed. It had 8 cylinders with pistons that moved like an actual engine!”

“Being a C.I.T. was really fun! My favourite part was planning camp challenges and activities for everyone; I even created my own superhero scavenger hunt for Spirit Day.
For my personal project, I’m really into psychology, so I built a 3D brain! The inside is made up of circuits with LEDs that light up different parts of the brain with colours, and it’s meant to show how colours can stimulate different psychological reactions in the brain.”
