So much to celebrate this year! We have grown to 2 state events. At our first ever Northern & Central California Invention Convention, 130 young inventors from 28 schools came to the California State Railroad Museum to present to the judges and see each other’s inventions. Check out the list of participants and their inventions.
Our deepest thanks to our Premier Sponsors California State Railroad Museum Foundation and the California State Railroad Museum who opened their fabulous museum to our inventors and their families. It was a fantastic location for our convention — and everyone was so impressed.
The Awards Ceremony was broadcast on April 19th. If you missed the awards ceremony or would like to view it again, here is the link. The Video is 40 minutes.
