Torrance Unified goes GLOBAL! Our students shined bright at the virtual Invention Convention Americas. Out of 131 students we had three international finalists—Avish B., Anant A., and Zachary D.—who showcased innovative projects. Plus, at U.S. Nationals held at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan our District won more awards than any other district in the nation! We're so proud of our young inventors!
