"You don't have to be the best dancer to lead."
Invention Convention is a TK-12 educational program that teaches students how to become inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Students are also trained in problem identification, problem solving, entrepreneurship and creativity skills for life.
Jayda Recor of Wildomar has been invited to join the esteemed Invention Convention Worldwide (ICW) Youth Ambassador program. This program offers a select group of young ICW inventors the chance to advise staff at ICW, The Henry Ford, and BuzzEngine on student engagement with Invention Convention Worldwide. Ambassadors also gain valuable opportunities to connect with fellow young inventors and champion the spirit of invention.
As an ICW Youth Ambassador, Jayda will contribute her insights by:
-
Attending four virtual meetings to share her perspective on how ICW can best connect with young inventors.
-
Attending Invention Convention U.S. Nationals as an Ambassador. Her responsibilities will include interviewing competitors and participating in other student engagement activities as determined by the ICW team.
-
Having the option to participate in various engagement opportunities, such as affiliate competitions, conferences, and other outreach events.
-
Jayda's selection for this prestigious program highlights her dedication to invention and her potential as a future leader in STEM. Her contributions as a Youth Ambassador will play a vital role in shaping the future of Invention Convention Worldwide and inspiring the next generation of inventors.
Julia Lee Performing Arts Academy is excited to compete in the Southern California Invention Convention as the only students representing Riverside County. JLPAA Inventors have worked on the invention process since August and are ready. We are so proud of our brilliant young minds!
