Invent Now America Invention Competition

Organization: National Inventors Hall of Fame

Program Overview

A U.S. competition where high school students design and submit original inventions for recognition, scholarships, and national exposure.

Invent Now America was a U.S.-based invention competition associated with the National Inventors Hall of Fame that encouraged students and the general public to design and submit original inventions. Historically, the program highlighted creative problem‑solving, applied science and engineering, and real-world innovation, giving young inventors a platform to showcase their ideas. While the "Invent Now America" competition as a named, currently active high school program does not appear to be running today, its spirit continues through related National Inventors Hall of Fame initiatives that support K–12 innovation and invention education. High school students interested in similar opportunities should look at contemporary invention and engineering competitions (such as local science fairs, engineering challenges, and national invention contests) that offer recognition, mentorship, and sometimes scholarships for innovative projects.
