This year Deep Run Elementary will again be hosting an Invention Convention. It is designed to promote problem-solving and creative-thinking skills. The goal of the Invention Convention is to invent a new product or develop a new method for completing a task. This is a 21st century skill that will be critical to our children's success in the future.
The Invention Convention will be held on May 3, 2017, during our Schoolwide Enrichment Fair (6:30-8:00 p.m.). Certificates will be awarded to each participant. We know your child will enjoy and benefit from this experience in scientific problem solving.

Parents of children who will be 3 by September 1st or 4 years of age may pick up an application package in the front office.
All applications must be returned by the last Friday in March. A limited number of openings are available for children without disabilities.
