The GeekMoms Podcast #35: Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam Program Inspires Kids to Invent

Experiments GeekMom

In this episode, GeekMom Nicole Wakelin gets to do a face-to-face interview with the kids on the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam from Nashua North High School in Nashua, New Hampshire. They started working on a bacteria-powered battery at the end of last year and have just received a grant to make it a reality. She talks with some of the kids on the team as well as their advisers about how they developed their idea, what they’re going to do next, and how other kids can foster their love of science and invention from grade school right through college.
