ICKC values our relationship with our sponsors and encourages a mutually beneficial connection with our members.  ICKC only recommends ICKC sponsor companies and members of the United Inventor's Association (UIA), which functions as a watchdog organization for inventors.

Our board of directors screens all sponsor and does not list any company that has been reported to provide poor customer service.

Inventing 101

Listenas Steve Pope and Carrie Jeske talk Basic Inventing on National Public Radio (NPR) KCUR.

Testimonial
"I was delighted to listen to your session on “up to date.” I am currently teaching a course on creative thinking and learning , and have been for decades. In all the years of teaching this course, I have never heard an interview that was so focused on the heart of what we need to do and value in education."  Associate Professor, University of Kansas


Idea Development Process
"Successful inventing is as much an art, as a science!  There is an established project
sequence to be implemented.  There's also something to be said for unpredictability
of the right idea at the right time with the right people."
  Carrie Jeske, ICKC president
