🌟 What an incredible day at the Invention Convention at MTSU! 🌟
#InventionClub students from #EastSideElementarySchool recently showcased their innovative ideas while competing with over 500 fourth and fifth graders from across Middle Tennessee at the #InventionConvention at #MTSU.
These #students also heard an inspiring message from Sam Phalen from Season 47 of Survivor, who encouraged them to never give up and to continue pursuing their dreams no matter the obstacles. 💪✨
These young innovators continue to impress with their hard work, bravery and big thinking. The future is bright! 🌍💡
