What Is RTX Invention Convention U.S. Nationals 2027?
The Henry Ford's Invention Convention Worldwide will host RTX Invention Convention U.S. Nationals in Dearborn, Michigan from June 9-11, 2027. The event is sponsored by RTX; it is not organized by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Qualifying K-12 inventors present original solutions to education and industry judges, meet peers and professionals, take part in learning experiences, explore The Henry Ford and compete for grade-level, category, industry, patent-application, cash and scholarship awards.
Nationals is invitation-only. Students first qualify through a state or regional affiliate or through the Independent Inventor Program. The 2027 independent pathway is open to U.S. K-12 students who lack an accessible affiliate, fall outside their affiliate's age or grade range, or are homeschooled where the affiliate does not accept individuals. A student may use only one pathway. Intent is due January 22, invited entries are completed by March 31, online judging runs April 6-16 and national qualifiers are announced April 20.
