The League of Young Inventors is a growing nonprofit start-up with a mission to make interdisciplinary hands-on science learning accessible to a wide range of kids, both inside and outside of school. We take kids on an exciting journey to unlock the mystery and magic behind how things work, while giving them the space to experiment, invent, embrace failure, and have fun.

The League’s curriculum aligns with a variety of grade-level standards, and follows the engineering design process: from understanding a problem, to designing and prototyping solutions, to testing and revising. Our curriculum has been fully field-tested with expert educators and thousands of students.

Each interdisciplinary League lesson features an expertly designed hands-on project where kids get to experiment, invent, embrace failure, and have fun. We provide our units with the option of two formats:

DIGITAL PRESENTATIONS: Each lesson is presented as a customizable set of interactive slides. These present the science, history, vocabulary, interactive warm-up activities, and hands-on maker projects. All steps are presented with embedded videos that teach maker skills and include troubleshooting tips. Educators can self-narrate with our talking points and move at their own pace through the lessons. We include all necessary printables, material lists, and extension activities.

VIDEOS: Each lesson, with all of the components mentioned above, is recorded as a 20-minute video – no teacher facilitation needed! Students are stepped through a hands-on maker project with pause points for following along. (As an alternative, League educators are available to teach each lesson live on Zoom.)
