About Inventci

Inventci is a creative thinking platform for K-12 classrooms. It helps students imagine, invent, and express original ideas, all through short, engaging challenges inspired by the curiosity and creativity of Leonardo da Vinci.

Whether you're teaching science, art, or social studies, Inventci gives your students a free space to practice creative problem-solving, visual thinking, and storytelling. It's built for real classrooms. It's fast to launch, easy to manage, and meaningful to use.

Why Creative Thinking Matters

Creativity and Creative-Thinking are foundational 21st-century skills. Research shows that students who engage in creative tasks develop stronger cognitive flexibility, empathy, and motivation to learn.

  • ✏️ Think divergently: Students learn to generate multiple ideas quickly — not just recall facts.
  • 🧠 Make new connections: Open-ended prompts help students apply knowledge in new and meaningful ways.
  • 🎯 Reflect and revise: Challenges encourage students to evaluate and improve their own ideas — a key part of metacognition.
  • 🎨 Express visually and verbally: Drawing, labeling, and storytelling activate more parts of the brain and improve memory.

Built With Teachers in Mind

Inventci is designed for flexibility: you can run a challenge in 5 minutes or stretch it across a full lesson. Students can draw digitally or on paper. AI feedback helps you assess creativity with ease, and classroom tools make it easy to present, share, and reflect.

Teachers using Inventci say it helps students build confidence, collaborate more openly, and stay engaged — even during difficult topics or transitions. It fits beautifully into STEAM lessons, design thinking units, morning warm-ups, and project-based learning.

Rooted in Research, Proven in Classrooms

Inventci is inspired by decades of research in creativity and learning science. This includes the work of J.P. Guilford, Ron Beghetto, and Yong Zhao.

But it's also shaped by real classroom experience. Every feature has been tested with students and teachers, and built to support creativity within the real constraints of time, curriculum, and classroom flow.

Our mission is simple: to give every student a chance to think differently — and to help every teacher bring creative confidence into the classroom.
