What is the Maryland Invention Convention(MIC)?
Empowering the Next Generation
We are excited to announce a new chapter for The George and Betsy Sherman Center at UMBC! Starting this Fall, the Sherman Center has become the official Maryland affiliate for Invention Convention Worldwide.
The Mission: Beyond Science Fairs
The Maryland Invention Convention (MIC) is a K-12 invention education program that goes beyond traditional science fairs. It is designed to instill problem-identification, critical thinking, and entrepreneurship skills in students.
Rather than just testing a hypothesis, students follow a 7-step invention process to solve real-world problems they see in their own lives or communities. They identify a challenge, conduct research, ideate, design, and ultimately build a functional prototype.
The program builds a "can-do" culture, preparing young people for the 21st-century workforce by:
Building Confidence: Students learn to present their ideas to industry leaders and expert judges.
Real-World Impact: Participants have the chance to secure patents, with nearly 30 students receiving USPTO patents through this ecosystem since 2018.
Global Reach: Top inventors from the Maryland competition can advance to the U.S. Nationals at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation.

Welcome Back Retrievers!!
The new semester is officially in full swing, and the Sherman Center is here to help you navigate it successfully!!
With the wintry conditions that delayed our in-person start by a week, it might feel like we're already racing to catch up. But as we transition from "winter mode" back into the swing of the spring semester, remember that it's okay to take a moment to find your footing. We may be starting a little later than planned, but we are moving forward together, and we will surely find our rhythm in no time.
Master Your Time - Now is the perfect time to get those sticky notes out and map out your priorities. Breaking down your semester now prevents the "mid-semester crunch" later.
Health is Wealth - Academic success is only possible when you take care of yourself. Prioritize rest, stay hydrated, and don't hesitate to lean on your community for support.
As you settle into your new schedule, here are a few things to keep in mind for a successful start:
Important Deadline: The last day to add or drop classes is February 13th. Take this week to ensure your course load feels balanced and manageable.
Let's make this your best semester yet!!

A Big Shout out to George and Betsy Sherman
Celebrating the "heart" behind the program and the Shermans' personal journey
Behind the Sherman Teacher Scholars Program at UMBC is a story of two people who believed that education is the most powerful tool for social justice.
George, a brilliant business leader and engineer, and Betsy, a passionate educator who began her career as Kentucky's first Head Start teacher, shared a simple but profound belief: Every child deserves an exceptional education.
George and Betsy Sherman didn't just want to fund a program, they wanted to spark a movement. By blending George's belief in excellence and Betsy's deep-rooted passion for early childhood education, they redefined what it means to support urban schools.
The Legacy they Built:
The Shermans shifted the narrative from "charity" to partnership. Because of George and Betsy, the connection between UMBC and Baltimore City schools has evolved into a national model for collaboration. They proved that when you invest in the person "leading instruction", you change the future of every student in the room.
We are eternally grateful for their warmth, their wisdom, and their unwavering belief that every child can succeed when given the right champion.
Make sure you follow both our pages for the latest updates and milestones!!!
