Welcome to the "For Kids" section of the USPTO website. The USPTO welcomes students, educators, and young inventors and innovators of all ages.
USA Science and Engineering Festival
Visit the USPTO Booth at the 2012 USA Science & Engineering Festival, Booth #227: Activities include: “Race to the USPTO,” where participants program robots to navigate a path to the USPTO, picking up an idea, prototype and patent application along the way. Decode cipher keys to read hidden messages. Take a trip back to the start of the animated film industry by making your own animated flip books. Check out the “Intellectual Property is all around us” display and make three-dimensional cut outs of GRS the Robot Cat and T. Markey.
