The Torrance Legacy Creativity Awards Competition for Inventions challenges young in-ventors to solve problems using the scientific method. Students from ages 8 to 18 years old create original products ranging from enjoyable activities (Arts and Leisure) to playful fun (Toys and Games) to helpful solutions (Science and Engineering). Young inventors attend public, private and/or home schools and submit applications from North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. They begin with a need, develop their concept and design a prototype with detailed instructions and three-dimensional graph-ic. Applicants select a Torrance Legacy Creative Award theme and submit a 300-500 word description with drawings or electronic images.

A team of qualified judges evaluate applications in each category with a rubric scoring problem-solving skill, real world application, and product presentation. In addition to Torrance Legacy Creative Invention Award recognition, previous invention award recipients have received an academic scholarship, patented an invention, and appeared in local news media.
