Support Wesley's Journey to National Invention Convention

Wesley Lewis is the creator of "Winter Wheels," a skating wheelchair that creates accessibility for all. Wesley had a friend last year who broke his leg and was in a wheelchair. As soon as snow hit, he couldn't play on the playground and join the other kids. This opened his eyes and he realized ALL kids who use wheelchairs are impacted. He decided that this needed to change.

35,000 students compete nationwide and 18 students were selected from Invent Idaho. Wesley was selected as one of these inventors! He will proudly be representing Idaho and American Heritage Charter School this June in Michigan at the National Invention Convention!

This has been a process for Wes. He competed at a school level, regionals, and state. At state, he was awarded Best of Category. Out of over 120 inventors in Idaho, he was one out of 18 to be invited to nationals. He was also one of three students who were awarded a scholarship for his flight and registration fee. While getting the scholarship is an amazing honor, it still comes with significant costs, including event fees, travel, and lodging.

Attending the National competition is an incredible opportunity. We want to make sure Wesley can take full advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we’re reaching out to our friends, family, and community for support.

If you’re able to donate, any amount will help us get him to Nationals and allow him to showcase his invention on a national stage. If you can't donate, simply sharing this fundraiser would mean so much to us!

Thank you for believing in Wesley and supporting his journey as an innovator. We can’t wait to see where Winter Wheels takes him next!
