Congratulations to Invention League young inventor Dylan M. for winning the Genspiration Young Inventors Prize in the K-8th grade category during the National Academy of Inventors 14th Annual Conference! Dylan won with his invention BalanceBuddy, the same invention he was honored for during the Ohio Invention Convention State Finals 2024 and Invention Convention U.S. Nationals 2025!
OIL Executive Director Robin Hilsmeier joined Dylan and his family at the Atlanta conference to celebrate the momentous occasion! Dylan was not only the youngest finalist for the Genspiration Prize — but the youngest inventor at the entire conference. Dylan, we are so proud of you and your hard work!
