The Inventioneers Connection

We are a group of students inventing tomorrow's solutions today! Our four provisional patents and our utility patent are examples of our "why not' philosophy. We excelled in a youth program called FIRST LEGO League (FLL). Check out www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/fll. In April 2010 we were named the top FIRST LEGO League team in the world! We formed a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization in 2011 to help youth get involved in STEM and then in 2013, we started our own company!
