Approximately 600 students from grades K through 8 displayed their creations at The Connecticut Invention Convention (CIC official web site) on April 5, 2003. The event was held at the University of Connecticut's Gampel Pavillion. Mike Smalec, Richard Rourke and Ken Dreitlein manned the CTGBC display, answering questions about our nascent organization and also selected ten (10) inventions which exhibited the potential of contributing toward a sustainable environment. Photographs of these very creative inventions conceived by our state's talented students assisted by their teachers and parents, are shown below. Our congratulations to all these young inventors!
