We are thrilled to announce that two of our talented 5th graders, Yuvraj J. and Aadi B., have been invited to represent Carrollwood Day School and the state of Florida at the prestigious RTX Invention Convention U.S. Nationals 2024! Their exceptional project, a Thermoelectric powered car, caught the attention of judges at the 2024 Hillsborough Regional STEM Fair, earning them this coveted opportunity.

The RTX Invention Convention U.S. Nationals will take place from June 5th to June 7th at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, Michigan. This event brings together young inventors from across the country to showcase their innovative ideas and projects. Yuvraj and Aadi will have the chance to pitch their invention alongside some of the world's most impactful inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

We are incredibly proud of Yuvraj and Aadi for their dedication, creativity, and hard work that have led them to this momentous achievement. Their invitation to the Invention Convention Nationals is a testament to their ingenuity and the excellent education they have received at CDS. Yuvraj, Aadi, and their families will have the opportunity to not only showcase their project but also to engage with fellow inventors, learn from industry experts, and further develop their passion for innovation.

We wish Yuvraj and Aadi the best of luck at the RTX Invention Convention U.S. Nationals 2024 and know that they will represent CDS and the state of Florida with excellence and pride. Let's cheer them on as they embark on this incredible journey!

Thank you to our CDS Teachers and STEM Advisors, Lana Vargo and Stephanie Rodriguez-Sarrion for their guidance and inspiration in the STEM field.
