About
the Invention Convention
The Invention Convention is the place
where you can share your invention with other kids, parents,
and teachers. Plus you can win some cool stuff too! Maybe a
trip to Camp Invention, a Savings Bond, or even a College Scholarship!
The Invention Convention itself is a competition where inventions
are judged and prizes are awarded to the top entries. In the
past 11 years, over $300,000 in college scholarships have been
awarded as well as many savings bonds and Camp Invention scholarships.
The day is a ton of fun. You get to tell people about your wonderful
idea. How you came up with your idea, how your invention works,
and what problem it solves.
For the details about the day itself, you can go to the "I.C.
EVENT DAY" section of this Web site.
