Camp Invention, a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame®, provides a unique experience for children in grades K-6 to build their confidence and make new friends while exploring, creating and designing. Camp promotes STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning; builds leadership, perseverance and resourcefulness; and encourages entrepreneurship — in an exciting and engaging environment.
“Both of my kids loved Camp Invention! They loved having the opportunity to create, innovate and iterate what they had learned,” said the parent of recent Camp Invention campers. “They were intensely proud to tell of their work each day and to showcase their projects at the end of the week.”
Each year, the program features a new curriculum inspired by some of our nation’s most world-changing inventors — the National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees. This year’s Wonder program encourages children to be confident in their ideas and explore their innovativeness though hands-on activities including:
- Catching Air: Taking a confidence-building ride through physics, engineering and art, children design and build their own skate park
- Invention Celebration: To create the best celebration ever, campers become confident event planners
- MimicBot: Children show their unique style when they transform a robot that mimics sounds into a one-of-a-kind animatronic stuffie
- Pop-Up Venture: Campers become innovative entrepreneurs as they design their own mini pop-up business
Local programs are facilitated and taught by qualified local educators. Annually, Camp Invention programs benefit more than 118,000 children and partner with 2,200 schools and districts across the nation.
