The Connecticut Invention Convention (CIC) is an internationally recognized educational organization started in 1983. Throughout the year, teachers use our curriculum to develop creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills through invention and entrepreneurship. This culminates in the final competition event where we recognize students with awards and prizes for their hard work. Today, the program is open to all K-12 students across Connecticut, and is rapidly growing. PFE is a major part of what allows our organization to expand access to Invention Education in low income communities across the state.
