Independence Middle School students from Mr. Dylan August's 21st Century Literacy class and classes taught by Mr. Brian Abbey and Mrs. Madeline Tyska competed in the regional middle school invention competition at Inventionland Headquarters in Pittsburgh on May 20.
Students presented their inventions in Shark Tank-style pitches to judges including two company CEOs and Penn Trafford School District Superintendent Dr. Matthew Harris, competing against other Pennsylvania schools after months of development work.
