OSWEGO COUNTY – Fairley Elementary students recently showcased their creativity and innovation during the annual Inventive Minds competition.

The competition tasked students with identifying a problem and developing an invention that would address the issue. Students created prototypes of their inventions and were required to present their inventions to a panel of judges who determined the winner. The winners from the school-level competition advanced to the regional battle against Red Creek.
Fairley’s Abigail Fassano earned top five honors, with a fourth-place finish for her invention, “Slipper Stoppers.”
Advisors Kate Babbitt and Bethany Simmons lauded the students for their hard work and innovation.
“All of our participants did a wonderful job problem-solving and tapping into their creativity,” the advisors said. “Students put a lot of effort into their inventions, and we couldn’t be prouder.”
