The Craftsman/NSTA Young Inventors Awards Program challenged students to use creativity and imagination along with science, technology, and mechanical ability to invent or modify a tool. This competition ran from 1996 through the 2004-2005 school year.

NSTA congratulates the winners of the 2005 Craftsman Young Inventors Awards, and says thank you to Sears and good-bye to the Young Inventors program. Sears Craftsman has sponsored the Young Inventors program for nine successful years and has encouraged more than 42,000 students to explore science by inventing a tool. NSTA extends its gratitude and appreciation to the leadership at Sears Craftsman for its support for this program and for its commitment to science education.
