Young Inventors: Invention Convention -- Call for Volunteers
IEEE NH is a sponsor with two awards: "Electrical" & "Technology For Humanity"
we need IEEE member volunteers to help judge the K-12 student inventions in for these catagories
Additional judges are needed for other awards as well.
Invention Convention is always seeking financial donations as well.
"As a past Judge, I have been delighted with the kids creations from young folks ideas to older students prototypes" Jim Isaak
The excitement for the Young Inventors' Program builds as we approach our premiere event, the 2023 Northern New England Invention Convention. On Saturday, March 18, we return to an in-person competition followed by a celebratory Awards Ceremony at the University of New Hampshire. However, we will also offer an option for inventors and judges to participate virtually, too. We need your help!
IN-PERSON COMPETITION JUDGES
Join us in-person for the NNE-Invention Convention. Judges will be grouped into teams of 2-3 and will be assigned to small sessions with 6-8 inventors. Students will present their inventions and judges will have time to engage in a Q&A.
Judges must commit to participate in a virtual Orientation prior to competition day (TBA), participate in the in-person competition, and meet with your judge team to deliberate and make awards decisions. Judges can anticipate dedicating 6-8 hours total for the event.
VIRTUAL COMPETITION JUDGES
While most students will present projects in-person, we will offer the opportunity to present in a virtual format. This is a live, on-line meeting where judges and inventors can engage and discuss projects.
Judges will be grouped into teams of 2-3 and will be assigned to a breakout room of 4-6 inventors. Students will present their inventions and judges will have time to engage in a Q&A.
Judges must commit to participate in a virtual Orientation prior to competition day (TBA), participate in the virtual competition, and meet with your judge team deliberate and make awards decisions. Judges can anticipate dedicating 4-6 hours total for the event.
-----
To coordinate IEEE awards, we will need to review candidates from both the virtual and in-person events and decide in real time at the in-person event. --- Please list your "Organization" as IEEE so the administrators know who will be providing input for IEEE.
