Camp Invention, a nonprofit summer enrichment program, is coming to William Tennent High School the week of July 11-15.

A program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Camp Invention challenges children in grades K-6 to tap into their natural curiosity and use their creativity to solve problems. Through hands-on activities, Camp Invention promotes STEM learning; builds confidence, leadership, perseverance and resourcefulness; and encourages entrepreneurship, all in a fun and engaging environment.

The program features a new curriculum each year that’s inspired by some of the nation’s most world-changing inventors, the NIHF Hall of Famers. This year’s Explore program encourages children to be confident in their ideas and explore their innovativeness through hands-on activities, including:

– Robotic Aquatics: Children dive into cutting-edge ocean research as they adopt their own aquatic animals, design and patent aquatic plants, and take their new friend home in a mini tank
– NIHF’s The Attic: Campers combine science and art to build their own robotic artist, engage in design making, make spin art and learn how inventions can change the way people create
– Spacecation: Children discover real space exploration technology when they create Spacepacks and Asto-Arm devices, mine an asteroid and observe erupting ice volcanoes
– Marble Arcade: Campers experiment with the fun of physics, engineering and gaming as they design, build and test their own mega marble arcades

The new Camp Invention program for 2022 has been developed with safety in mind. Programs will follow state and local guidelines to help promote a healthy, safe and fun environment.

All local Camp Invention programs are facilitated and taught by certified educators who reside and teach in the community. Camp Invention serves 130,000 students every year and partners with more than 1,800 schools and districts across the nation. Visit invent.org/camp
