April 13th 2024 California Invention Convention for Northern/Central California

The  2024 Northern & Central California Invention was a grand success.  Our venue  – the California State Railroad Museum – was a simply incredible place to hold our convention.

Big thanks to the Museum and their staff for their contribution in making this event so successful!

The results from our 2024 Convention are now posted here on our website.  Check out all the winners as well as the list of all the participants.  We are so proud of each and every one of our young inventors.
