KC Invention Convention 2022

Join us for the second annual Kansas City Invention Convention!

Registration for the Linda Hall Library’s second annual Kansas City Invention Convention, an affiliate program of The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, opens this fall. At the KCIC, students in grades 4 through 12 from around the Kansas City metro are empowered to imagine new solutions to everyday challenges. With the support of teachers and mentors, and one-of-a-kind tips from living inventors and industry experts, students embark on a journey of creativity and growth. KCIC will introduce students to STEM concepts, entrepreneurship and more as they create their own inventions and have a chance to win prizes, scholarships and an opportunity to go to nationals.
