Special Programs

Project Invent

Beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, Athens Drive partnered with the national nonprofit, Project Invent. The program partners students with a local community partner, and the student team is tasked with creating a tangible, technology-based invention to help their partner. Students will design, prototype, build, and market their invention. Students dive deep into the engineering design process and learn many new skills along the way. The process concludes with pitching their product to judges in the tech field for the chance to compete for funding to improve their product!
