WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA INVENTION CONVENTION
Exciting news for the California Invention Convention
We are proud to announce an official agreement has been reached that allows the Lemelson-MIT Program (LMIT) to be the affiliate responsible for the California Invention Convention (CAIC)– and we couldn’t be more excited! Brenda, Anne and the entire CAIC team will still be the folks at the helm of the program, and as always, you can rely on the same great experience and help from all of us at CAIC!
Lemelson-MIT is now the state affiliate for the California Invention Convention. State winners will continue to go on to participate in the National Invention Convention, at The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, with winners from the National Invention Convention continuing onto the Global Invention Convention. LMIT works to inspire and support the development of creative problem solvers, inventors and entrepreneurs across the United States through inclusive invention education initiatives.
