Are you confident with your progress thus far?
Our product is coming together quite well. We have had several - and we mean several - issues that we've run into regarding filament extrusion, and stepper motor overheating, but this was (for the most part) expected, and we hope to have a prototype that's operational in some capacity early June!

Can I try to start an InvenTeam at my school?
Absolutely! You'll have to develop a problem, describe an original, well-researched potential solution, and submit it to the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam's application page when it opens each Fall.
