Registration required
Have you ever thought of an out of the box idea that would make a great invention? Or have you ever had the thought, “Why doesn’t this exist yet?” Whatever it is, you will have the chance to make your ideas a reality with this activity! Girls will have the opportunity to create and build a model of their invention during the month of February. Then, those inventions will be taken to the Albany Regional Museum and be displayed as a special exhibit for the entire month of March.
On March 1st, youth and guardians are invited to a special OP event at the museum, where girls’ inventions will be honored with a patent award ceremony, and the new exhibit with their creations will be unveiled. Please register for this activity if you would like to participate in the project and attend the patent award ceremony on March 1st. The Albany Regional Museum is located at 136 SE Lyon St S, Albany, OR 97321, just a few blocks from OP. We are so excited to see what you invent!
Who is welcome at OP?
OP recognizes an expansive definition of girl. OP is for all trans girls and cis girls, as well as for nonbinary youth, gender nonconforming youth, and genderqueer youth, who feel or have a connection to girlhood or girlness. Welcome to your space!
Safety is a priority at OP
The safety and comfort of everyone at OP is our top priority. Face masks are welcome. You are also welcome to ask OP staff and interns you are in contact with to wear a mask. If you are sick, please stay home. Thanks!
