Eight High School Teams Receive Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams® Grants To Solve Real-World Problems with Technological Solutions

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — (Oct. 29, 2025) The Lemelson-MIT Program announces the 2025-2026 InvenTeams today. The eight teams of high school students, teachers, and mentors from across the country will each receive $7,500 in grant funding and year-long support to build a technological invention to solve a problem of their own choosing. The students’ inventions are inspired by real- world problems they identified in their local communities.

Meet the 2025–2026 InvenTeams^®
The InvenTeams were selected by a respected panel consisting of inventors, entrepreneurs, industry professionals, and college students. Some panel members were former InvenTeam members now in college or working in industry. The InvenTeams are focusing on problems facing their local communities with the goal of creating invention prototypes that will improve the lives of people in the community and beyond.

The 2025–2026 InvenTeams are comprised of students, teachers, and community mentors who pursue year-long invention projects involving creative thinking, problem-solving, and hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The InvenTeams’ invention prototypes will be showcased at a technical review within their home communities in February 2026, and then again in June at a year-end celebration, EurekaFest®.
 
“The InvenTeams initiative has been a grand MIT experiment and proven that all youth can invent when given the opportunity,” says Leigh Estabrooks, Lemelson-MIT’s Invention Education Officer. “Our 22 years of working with high school teams in their communities shows the extraordinary power of invention education. Teams will work extremely hard throughout this entire school year becoming experts in their self-selected problems as well as the technological solutions. It’s an honor to work with such empathetic young people who care about making our lives safer, healthier, and more accessible.”
