Inventions such as automobiles, televisions, computers, and even zippers, have had the power to improve the world. The goal of the Invention and Design Educational Academy (IDEA) is to use that power to inspire the next generation of inventors. Our unique school provides its students with personalized opportunities to explore their community, country and world, which has been shaped by its innovations. Through hands-on training, students at IDEA receive the exclusive opportunity to become involved in real world projects. Our small-school setting gives teens the individualized attention and unlimited opportunities to explore and learn about their surroundings.
