This Wednesday from 6-8 pm, we have our Science and Invention Night at Tacony Academy Charter School. First grade students will be presenting their invention proposals as solutions to a problem. At Tacony Academy our mission is invention and innovation . By telling students at a young age that they have important ideas, and they can solve world problems, they will internalize the identity of an inventor and a creator. There are no prizes at our events as our caring school community is inclusive of all levels of participation.
