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 8th at Gampel Pavilion on the campus of University of Connecticut.

Please consider volunteering some time to support our young inventors and/or sharing this invitation with any friends or colleagues who may want to judge!

Upcoming Events:

• Connecticut State Semi-Finals:  April 5th-19th, Asynchronous Virtual Judging - Judge from Anywhere!

• Connecticut State Finals:  Saturday, June 8th 2024, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT

Please follow the links below to register based on whether you would like to judge the semi-finals (virtual in April), the finals (in-person in June), or both!  Please note that each event has its own registration.
