Invention Convention Independent Inventor Program
Many of the young inventors who have participated in the California Invention Convention in the past have not been affiliated with one of our registered schools or after-school programs. They are Independent Inventors – and several have been very successful both at our event, as well as at the National and Global Conventions. So we welcome you!
Prior to creating the invention, but after developing the invention idea, please fill out and submit the
Independent Invention Abstract.
Guidelines on developing your invention can be found in the
How to Guide and
Invention Log (a completed Invention Log is required for registration). While these documents are targeted toward schools, they have all the info / links needed to guide you on your invention journey.
You will follow all the same registration guidelines, as well as
Requirements and Restrictions,
Creating Invention Documentation and
Creating Your Video - just like all other students with a few exceptions which are noted in the registration instructions. You need to register in the correct convention for your county. Scroll up to
Filter by County.
