In 2020, Invent School stayed true to its mission as it catered student learners using their newest platform - the online world.
Because of the pandemic, Invent School had to innovate beyond the traditional face-to-face workshops, which cannot be conducted due to varying community restrictions. As a result, the program explored webinars and tailored-fit its training using online platforms in order to deliver the same quality of service to its students.
