Incoming Chaney STEM students try their hands at national inventing program

YOUNGSTOWN

Javon Kullum and Jose Santiago, both 12, and Antoine Sharpe and Kamron Jackson, both 11, huddled around a table in a Chaney Campus classroom, hard at work.

They are among the 40 middle school students in the Invention Project, a program for sixth-through-eighth-graders by Camp Invention, the National Inventors Hall of Fame in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark offices.

The camp for incoming Chaney Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics program students ran this week at the school.

One group of students worked on Change Agent, to design a medicinal delivery system while next door, students worked in Holo-Games, where students developed game storylines and prototype avatars for video games.
