invention fair

Creator display event

An invention fair is an event where people—typically students—display original inventions or creative projects, often competing for prizes.

Similar to a science fair but focused on creating novel devices or solutions rather than demonstrating scientific principles: Her solar-powered phone charger won first place at the invention fair.
