Maine Invention Convention Advanced in Chamber’s Publication

The December 2013 issue of Impact, a Maine State Chamber of Commerce publication, featured an article on the University of Maine’s involvement with the Maine Invention Convention. The event is a statewide competition that promotes problem solving and inventing by students in grades five through eight throughout the school year and ends with the statewide contest hosted by UMaine in May. The next two issues of Impact are expected to include articles on more of UMaine’s innovation, research and economic development initiatives.
