Camp Invention

Entering grades K-6

SPARK, this year’s fresh, new Camp Invention curriculum, offers fun, high-energy activities that align with education standards, supports skill development and fosters measurable long-term impact. This summer, students can look forward to four ALL-NEW adventures:

• Make Waves™ - After experimenting with buoyancy and surface tension, campers generate ideas for unique, innovative products. Campers explore entrepreneurship as they design prototypes and bring their inventions to market, advertising on one-of-a-kind billboard boats!  
• Space Morphers™ - While launching their mission to locate a new planet, campers explore cutting edge space innovations. Using creativity skills, campers create a model of their newly discovered planet to support life and future exploration. Campers experiment with launch, angles and trajectory to land a space rocket and set up a space lab to record observations.  
• The Infringers™ - Campers use the superpowers of the I Can Invent® Mindset! Campers discover how technology has enabled inventions to become smaller and then invent prototypes to solve challenges. While safeguarding their designs using cryptography, campers build persistence and race to file a patent to protect their inventions.  
• Fur-ensics™  - Campers discover how real-life crime scene investigators use forensic tools to help solve crimes! With the help of a robotic capybara sidekick, students invent a sleuthing gadget to explore the forensics behind fingerprints, DNA evidence and more.
