“The Last Kids on Earth and the Forbidden Fortress” takes place during the end of the world. Everything has been destroyed. At this time the world has monsters and zombies everywhere.

“Oh! I just got an idea!” Students at Carden of Tucson turn their ideas into inventions. A unique program called Invention Convention challenges students to find ways to change the world. This year’s Invention Convention will be held March 8 from 12:30 to 4 p.m. at the University of Arizona ENR2.

The Invention Convention started in Connecticut in 1983, and asks students to find problems that need solutions. These solutions become brand new inventions. Educators at Carden of Tucson loved this idea and wanted to bring it to their students.
