Thomas Edison

The THA Invention Fair was widely researched over the past year. Three very good programs were found that were used as a guide to create the THA Invention Fair. I would like to thank the directors of these programs for granting me permission to use their websites and information to help develop our program. It would be a good idea to visit these sites before you get started. Thanks again to the Maine Middle School Convention, The Greenville Invention Convention, and The Young Inventors Program (Minnesota). Just browse through the sites.
