FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

PITTSBURGH PA. – November 24, 2009 – A group of 3rd – 8th graders from St. Philip School took a trip to O’Hara Township recently to visit a strange place called Inventionland. The academically talented students from the “Thinking Caps” enrichment program were looking for some ideas to help them with their participation in the Invention Convention – they weren’t disappointed.<\/p>\n

“We are hoping to get inspiration for the invention process,” said their teacher, who attended a teacher’s workshop in Inventionland last spring.<\/p>\n

Known as “the world’s most creative workplace,” Inventionland is the creative design facility of Davison, a new product development firm.<\/p>\n

“We (teachers) were just so amazed by it; I just had to bring my class.”<\/p>\n

The teacher only told her students they were “going somewhere that helps people take their ideas and helps them become a reality.” She wanted them to be completely surprised; when the secret entrance opened to reveal Inventionland, they were.<\/p>\n

“This is so cool!” exclaimed several youngsters. Their tour guides showed them all the themed offices where designers create the new products of tomorrow, including aboard a life-size pirate ship, inside a gigantic robot, waterfall-draped cavern, and slot-car ringed motor speedway.<\/p>\n

Favorite spots along the tour included a huge green screen, in-house theater and sound studio. “It’s cool; they’re all moving,” commented a girl about dials on the unmanned sound board. Upon learning about creative projects being developed in Davison’s Entertainment Division, the students and adults were equally impressed.<\/p>\n

“It’s a wonderful idea,” said the teacher. “We really need stuff like that to inspire the kids; that’s what our country really needs.”<\/p>\n

To be a member of Thinking Caps a student has to make an invention for the Invention Convention or participate in Exploravision, a competition that requires them to take an idea that exists now and project it 20 years into the future, said the teacher, who is chairperson of this year’s Invention Convention.<\/p>\n

“We’re also hoping they see that there are really interesting places right here in Pittsburgh and there are different types of jobs they could do,” said a parent supervisor of the group.<\/p>\n

The teacher described the tour as “incredible” and said she was sure it would spark the imaginations of the youngsters, as well as the grown-ups.<\/p>\n

“Our students and chaperones were so very impressed and inspired!”
