National Inventors Hall of Fame - NIHF

We believe our role as a Hall of Fame is to not only honor the individuals whose inventions have made the world a better place, but also to ensure American ingenuity continues to thrive in the hands of coming generations. This belief is what drives our mission: to recognize inventors and invention, celebrate our country’s rich, innovative history, inspire creativity, and advance the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship.

The National Inventors Hall of Fame® is a non-profit organization that pays it forward and invests in the future of innovation and STEM through our national, K-12 educational programs, Invention Playground®, Camp Invention®, Club Invention®, and Invention Project®. All of our education programs focus on creativity, innovation and real-world problem solving and are differentiated by the spirit of invention that we infuse throughout the curriculum, with the help and inspiration of our Inductees.
