The GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) classes participated in the annual Cheyenne Invention Convention on Sept. 20, 2024. The Invention Convention was created to help students learn to think critically by identifying problems in their world. They apply STEM, invention and entrepreneurial skills to build real-world solutions. By pitching their invention to a panel of judges, students practice communication skills.

Congratulations to Abby Mourning, inventor of the Backpack Box, for her 1st place win! Camden McConathy, inventor of the CountUrJuggles, came in 2nd place.
