Volunteer Registration for the Northern / Central California Invention Convention Is Open from February 12 – April 2, 2025
The California Invention Convention continues to grow – with over 33,000 students participating in the program in the 2023-2024 school year. In order to allow more students to participate in a state event, we have TWO events – one for Southern California students and the other for Northern / Central California students which is being held on April 12 at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento.
There is a lot of work involved in setting up and running our California Invention Convention This year we expect between 200-225 students and 90 judges – so there is lots to prepare for. Your willing hands mean that we are able put on the best event possible to acknowledge and celebrate young inventors from Northern and Central California.
We hope that you will join us this year as a volunteer — and we ask that you reach out to friends and colleagues and invite them to register. All are welcome!!!
All volunteer work is done at the venue – which is located in the heart of Old Sacramento Waterfront — where there are lots of things to do!
California State Railroad Museum, 111 I Street, Sacramento
