Student Innovation Log

The Innovation Log is a guided journal designed to help elementary students document their creative journey from problem-solving to innovation. This step-by-step resource encourages young inventors to identify real-world problems, conduct research, brainstorm ideas, and design practical solutions. Through sketching, prototyping, and testing, students can refine their inventions and reflect on their learning process. The log also includes inspiration for naming inventions using techniques like alliteration, rhyming, alternative spellings, and personalization. Perfect for fostering critical thinking, creativity, and STEM skills, this tool helps young minds turn their ideas into reality while developing the confidence to share their innovations with others.
