Roto President Reelected as Board Member for the Connecticut Invention Convention

President and CEO of Roto North America, Chris Dimou, was reelected for a three-year term as a board member for the Internationally Recognized Education Organization: the Connecticut Invention Convention (CIC).

About CIC

The CIC strives to help kindergarten through 12th-grade students develop creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills through invention and entrepreneurship. Its curriculum aims to empower students to research, analyze and resolve real-life problems, preparing them for future success. So far, the CIC has served more than 17,000 students annually from nearly 300 participating Connecticut schools and trained/supported 350 educators.

The CIC was established in 1983 by educators committed to fostering a creative, innovative and inclusive learning environment. Over the years, it has developed new teaching products, curriculums, regional opportunities, software and flexible programming.

CIC’s success helped give rise to The STEMIE Coalition and NICEE, thereby elevating K-12 invention and entrepreneurship education to a national level. In addition to CIC’s reach, it has produced individuals that have gone on to receive patents and start their own businesses.

Roto's involvement

Roto North America says it is proud to offer its continued support to this internationally recognized educational organization.

"We believe that creatively educating students in STEM is essential to help them lead a successful life and broaden the awareness and accessibility of STEM opportunities in the future," the company says in a release.
