Inventing is about taking chances and learning through trial and error. Come celebrate some of the greatest inventors, such as Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, and James Watt for their risk-taking chances which changed our world. Put on your thinking hat and unleash your creative side in activities that will bring out the inventor in you. What great invention will you come up with?

Event Time: All day; check times.
Inventor Match Game: Think you know your inventors well? See how many inventors you can match to their genius inventions over at Junktion.
Build Your Brain: Stop by the Junktion to solve a few brainteasers that will help develop your creative skills. After all, in order to be a great inventor you have to keep the creative juices flowing.
