The NIHF Middle School provides learners with foundational skills that will serve them for a lifetime. The School’s innovative problem-based learning curricula are designed to allow learners to work collaboratively — with each other, Inductees and others in the community who generously donate their time. The National Inventors Hall of Fame STEM Middle School encourages each learner to apply his or her talents and strengths and face challenges with creativity and confidence.
