SUPPORT STEMIE EDUCATION IN KANSAS CITY

Sponsor the Kansas City Invention Convention

Invest in the future by supporting the Linda Hall Library’s annual Kansas City Invention Convention (KCIC)!  KCIC is a STEMIE (STEM + Invention + Entrepreneurship) competition that teaches problem-solving and creativity skills to students in grades 5-12, and provides educators with a project-based curriculum to inspire the innovators of tomorrow.

Sponsorship helps make KCIC accessible to more of our region’s youth, and includes funding student trips to Invention Convention U.S. Nationals, competition day transportation, awards, educator professional development, afterschool outreach, and more. Learn more about our specific opportunities below!

Ready to make an unforgettable impact on local youth as a KCIC sponsor? Please fill out the sponsor form and a staff member will reach out to you. You can send your sponsorship payment via a check made out to The Linda Hall Library Foundation and mail it to the Library:
