Celebrate the inventive spirit at EurekaFest, June 25-28, presented by the Lemelson-MIT Program and the Museum of Science. Join a community of inventors and innovators at the Lemelson-MIT Awards Ceremony or see a nationwide high school invention showcase on the MIT campus. Saturday at the Museum of Science, watch live presentations of award-winning student inventions, rock out to an air-guitar performance, learn about wind energy with fun hands-on activities, and witness the design challenge finale: a “heavy metal” lift-off powered by wind, teamwork, and the inventiveness of teens brought together from around the country.
