Savvy Irvine students will showcase their ‘Astounding Inventions’ on Jan. 26

Some very cool student inventions will be showcased later this month at the 26^th annual Astounding Inventions contest.

The event, presented by Greenberg Traurig LLP and the Irvine Valley College Foundation, is set to take place on Saturday, Jan. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Irvine Valley College’s Hart Gymnasium. (Click to enlarge the flier to the right.) Established to promote student interest in math and science, Astounding Inventions annually features the handmade innovations of Irvine and Tustin students in kindergarten through the eighth grade. Last year’s award-winning entries included the “The iWinder” and the “North Pole Watering System.” As per usual, the public will be able to check out all of the inventions for free on the day of the event. There will also be stage shows and some interesting science displays, including a real human brain, a “Make Your Own Slime” station, water rockets and Tesla Coil “lightning.” For more information, click here.
