Bendvention returns to CBS

Cherokee Bend’s Bendvention returned this year on April 29. This annual event gives students in third through fifth grades the opportunity to foster and enhance their creative thinking by taking an idea to the next level. 

At Bendvention, students can work individually or in groups with the goal of thinking of an everyday problem and creating an invention to help improve or solve the problem. Students must research patent laws to ensure their invention is original, as well create a plan and write a description of their invention. As the culmination of their efforts, the entire school is invited to admire their inventions.
