Help your students invent the future

KCIC is built upon a STEMIE experiential learning platform designed to build confidence, develop presentation skills, promote critical thinking, and encourage problem-solving abilities. The platform introduces a 7-step invention process that guides inventors through conceptualizing an idea from their own life experiences to developing a prototype, pitching the idea, and providing supporting documentation about their invention’s journey. Participating students gain access to a global ecosystem that opens doors to new friendships, ideas, skills, and perspectives about the world around them.

By becoming a KCIC educator, you gain access to a free, interdisciplinary curriculum and activities aligned with national standards to activate invention education in your classroom or after-school program. These ready-to-use curriculum and activities includes lesson plans designed to foster your students’ innate desires to identify problems and create meaningful solutions.
