Local student wins regional Invention Convention

By Megan Gildow | Monday, March 16, 2009, 05:00 PM

A Northwestern Elementary third-grader took home first place in the regional Invention Convention competition at Wright State University over the weekend.

Allie Lowe invented a water bottle heater to keep her two rabbits’ water bottles from freezing during the winter.

She won the grand prize of a $2,500 college scholarship, said Jerrie West, promotions manager for Just Think, Inc., the non-profit organization that sponsors Invention Convention. Invention Convention challenges students to create a new product to fill a need.

We had several Clark County students advance to the regional competition.

West told me that we had a few students place at the competition. I’m waiting on a list of those students. See Wednesday’s paper for more.
