The Young Inventor Challenge is a competition that inspires kids to use creativity, critical thinking, and STEAM skills in the invention and innovation process. The Young Inventor Challenge events occur throughout the year in neighborhood toy stores and camps across the nation (thanks to partnerships with ASTRA and Happy Camper Live), and culminate in the Young Inventor Challenge event in Chicago every November. This international competition connects its young participants with professionals within the toy and game industry, who act as mentors to these, the next generation of toy and game designers.
