The Archer School for Girls Awarded Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam™ Grant

11/4/15 — The Archer School for Girls received $7,000 in grant funding as part of the Lemelson-MIT Program’s 2015–2016 InvenTeam initiative to inspire young people to solve real-world problems through invention. “I’m so proud of our students for coming together to stretch themselves to invent something new and take on a real-world problem that they care deeply about,” said Michael Carter, faculty mentor to Archer’s InvenTeam of 20 students. As grant recipients, the school’s InvenTeam members are invited to develop their invention, a compact faucet mounted water meter, to be showcased at EurekaFest™, a multi-day celebration of inventions and inventors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in June 2016.
