Do you have a creative, innovative kid? Maybe even the next Tony Stark? Marvel’s IRON MAN 3: INVENTOR and INNOVATOR FAIRÂ is a contest for sixth through ninth-grade girls and boys who aspire to create and innovate.
Participating students are being asked to produce innovative, inventive projects based on themes from Marvel’s Iron Man 3 — science, technology, engineering, and math-related concepts and practices. Marvel’s IRON MAN 3: INVENTOR and INNOVATOR FAIR competition is encouraging students to submit projects that align with the National Academy of Engineering’s (NAE) Grand Challenges for Engineering™.
Some of the themes of the NAE Grand Challenges related to Marvel’s IRON MAN 3 are: (1) Develop Carbon Sequestration Methods, including projects involving themes of eco-friendly car development; (2) Engineer Better Medicines, with projects that focus on global disease prevention, limb regeneration and the study of body armor that protects injured body parts such as the heart; (3) Secure Cyberspace, inspiring projects that can lead to the development of new technologies that can redefine innovative security measures; and (4) Engineer the Tools of Scientific Discovery, in fields such as micro-technology, aeronautics or robotics.
