Most K-12 students participate in Invention Convention program through their school or community organization. However, if none of those options are available, K-12 students in CT may participate as an Independent Inventor.
Independent Inventors also qualify to participate in an optional winter virtual inventor's club, which helps to support independent inventors in their invention process.
K-12 students may participate as an Independent Inventor only if they fall into one of these situations:
Important to Note: Any student given the opportunity to participate through their school, regardless of their grade, does not qualify to be an Independent Inventor. If, for any reason, the school does NOT select the student to move on to our state events, then the student may NOT register as an independent inventor.
For more information about the Independent Inventor Program, please contact Bri at bri@ctinventionconvention.org
Registration for the Summer Independent Inventor programs is open!
School year program registration for CT independent inventors will open on September 8th.
Note: Inventors in this program will have the opportunity to compete in a virtual competition in March 2026 with the potential to matriculate to the CT State Finals event.
