Saturday Academy and the Micro-Enterprise Inventor’s Program of Oregon are teaming up to host the Oregon Inventor's Showcase. The showcase, which will be open to the general public, will highlight the importance of invention to Oregon's future and the wide variety of invention that is being done in our community every day. 

Approximately 140 6-9th grade students who are currently taking "Inventor's Academy" classes with Saturday Academy will participate in the showcase, along with the four current Oregon High School Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams (see below for details on InvenTeams).

This event will be co-hosted with the Micro-Enterprise Inventor's Program of Oregon (MIPO), a Lemelson Foundation-funded program that works with adult inventors. MIPO will have approximately 20 inventors exhibiting at the event, as well as some demonstrations and workshops.

Other supporters of this event include Portland State University's Lab2Market Initiative.
