The Yale Club of Hartford announces its
Award Sponsorship of
Connecticut Invention Convention (CIC) 2023 Finals
We Invite Yale Club of Hartford members To Serve as Judges For This Year’s Competition
March 31 - April 17
We invite you to join over 350 engineers, scientists, academics, entrepreneurs, and legal professionals who will judge student inventions and inspire young minds to pursue science and engineering. We have a unique opportunity to sponsor and judge the regional virtual event of hundreds of Connecticut student inventors who have prepared to demonstrate their achievement in creative and critical thinking skills and their active role as inventors. The Yale Club of Hartford will select three inventors, representing an elementary, a middle, and a high school level. The three Yale Club awards will be presented during an in-person finals event on Saturday, June 10 at the University of Connecticut.
Judge Registration
Registration to serve as a judge for this event is now open. Judging takes between 2-3 hours over a period of two and a half weeks. The judging period occurs March 31 through April 17. During that time, judges will review inventor videos, logbooks, and display slides, and score them based on a rubric. Each submission should take about 10 minutes to judge, and we hope you will consider judging at least 10 inventors. You may choose to judge more than 10 inventions if you have more time available. Judges must be 18 years or older to register as a CIC judge.
Judge training webinars will be conducted for the judges. Dates, times, and more information to follow.
