WHAT

Hundreds of kids get the opportunity to participate in regional Young Inventor Challenge® (YIC) contests hosted year-round because of your organizations - summer camps, independent toy stores, schools, clubs, and more! These unique events allow kids to get a head start on their toy and game creations for participation in the Young Inventor Challenge® International Championship in November.

WHERE & WHEN

The YIC is an opportunity for kids to develop and pitch their original toy and game inventions to YOU. Hosts of a YIC Regional Event provide kids the opportunity to design, develop, and ultimately pitch their invention to you and select a winner(s) to participate in the Young Inventor Challenge® International Championship. 

​

The Young Inventor Challenge® International Championship occurs annually in November where kids receive professional critiques from toy industry experts and the possibility to have their toy or game published! Learn more.
