CIC young inventors need your help!
Once again we invite our friends to come out and judge at CIC Regional events and the 35th Annual 2018 Connecticut Invention Convention.
In order to make this a successful year for our young inventors, we need judges from every background and career path! We need judges to speak with our students, offer feedback, score their inventions, and recommend inventors to advance to other events. No experience necessary, since everyone receives training on the day of the events.
Not familiar with our program: The Connecticut Invention Convention (CIC) is an award winning, non-profit educational organization open to students in all schools across Connecticut. The program is designed to develop, encourage, and enhance critical thinking and creative problem solving skills through invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Students come up with an invention and present their work at our Regional and Final events. Check us out at http://www.ctinventionconvention.org.
We need your help to encourage young students to consider careers in science, technology, math, and engineering. Could you invest a few hours at some of our events to support a child's interest in becoming an inventor?
