Six Students. One National Competition. One More Hurdle!

Six students from Talcott Mtn Academy have been invited to compete in the National Invention Convention. They need your help to get there!

Six students from Talcott Mountain Academy have been invited to participate in the National Invention Convention and Entrepreneurship Exposition (NICEE). It's an opportunity of a lifetime to compete with the best of the best from across the nation. But they need your help to get there.

For months Emma, Ryder, Julian, Brendan, Leo and Evan have dreamed of competing at nationals. Now, it’s finally within their reach. There’s just one barrier left to overcome – covering the cost of registration and the expenses for their trip.

This year’s NICEE will be held in Dearborn, Michigan at the Henry Ford Museum from May 31 through June 2. To compete, students and their families must cover all travel, hotel and meal expenses, which we estimate will cost approx. $2000 per family.
