InvenTeams
Challenging high school students to create technological solutions to real-world problems
The 2011 West Salem (Ore.) High School InvenTeam worked to invent a pressure sensitive
mechanical pencil – Scribo – to be used by elementary students to learn to write. The device
helps teach the students not to press or squeeze too hard – preventing poor writing habits
