Invention Convention

Invention Convention

Each year, STEP sponsors an innovation challenge called Invention Convention. This is where middle school teams design an original invention and present it both on the competition floor and in a Shark Tank–style pitch session. 

We are proud to announce this year’s winners:
1st Place Southern Nash Middle School Team 1
3rd Place Southern Nash Middle School Team 2

Southern Nash Team 1's invention was Flexfit, and Team 2 is ProPal. We commend all participating students from Nash County Public Schools and Edgecombe County for their outstanding work and innovative spirit.
