The Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam Initiative celebrates outstanding innovators and inspires young people to pursue creative lives and careers through invention.  InvenTeams are groups of high school students, teachers, and mentors working together to create technological solutions to real-world problems.  

Our Lynden InvenTeam has been awarded $9,885 in grant funding to pursue our yearlong invention project of designing and building a three wheeled recumbent trike with a composite frame.  The ‘trike’ would allow a rider to set a speed at which the hydraulic system would give the rider the ability to use their body to lean & turn.  As the trike slows below the pre-set speed it becomes a safe, more stable & rigid platform.  This invention awards persons with balance limitations the opportunity to experience the joy of bicycle riding while reaping the benefits of core body strengthening.  

Lynden’s invention has been praised as having some of the highest commercial potential of this year’s entrants. Therefore, we would love to have you follow us through our journey.  Stay posted for more updates.
