Jackson Junior High School students show off their invention skills at the school's first ever Invention Convention.

The Invention Convention is a school wide event and according to science teacher David Brummel the event gives students the opportunity to demonstrate innovative thinking and creative design. "The convention provides the students with the chance to invent or improve upon an invention that will accomplish a task."

According to Brummel more students participated in the Invention Convention when compare the science fair held earlier this year. "I believe that the students find it interesting in being able to "invent" something, especially something that is personal and useful."

Brummel says he expects more students to participate next year.
