Invention Convention

Come join us at the Armed Forces History Museum on Saturday, May 17th


from 10 AM to 1 PM as we host our first Invention Convention.  This

event will feature over 30 gifted students (K thru 5) from 12 local

schools who will be competing for top prizes.  They’ll be showcasing

their inventions to you and to the Tampa Bay Inventors Council judges. 

The students are limited only by their imagination.



Regular admission prices apply and visitors will be able to visit with the students as they tour the museum.  A separate judging panel will review each of the entries and then award prizes to the top three inventions. 



  • First Place:  $1,000
  • Second Place:  iPAD
  • Third Place:  iPAD Mini



Come out to the AFHMs Invention Convention and visit some of Pinellas


County’s top thinkers and get a look at ‘what’s on their minds’.  For more information, visit our website at www.armedforcesmuseum.com.  A special thanks to Walgreens, Tampa Bay Inventors Council and Pinellas County Schools.
