<b>About Lemelson-MIT Inventeams<br>
</b>Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams is a new initiative that provides grants
to teams of high school students to invent something useful that
solves a problem they've identified. 2004 was our first year as a
national program. Ten teams from private, public and vocational
schools representing eight states and impacting more than 180 students
were awarded up to $10,000. These InvenTeams have spent the past seven
months working on inventions including inspection-friendly luggage,
several assistive devices for the disabled and elderly, a pothole
detection and filling device, a remote-controlled helicopter for
avalanche hazard detection and mitigation, and solar-powered water
sensors. The June InvenTeams Showcase is their opportunity to present
their inventions and meet one another.<br>
