Camp Invention coming to Bensalem this summer

Kids in grades K-6 can use their creativity to solve problems July 15-18

Camp Invention, a nationally-recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment program, is coming to Bensalem Township School District the week of July 15-18. 

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 (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning; builds confidence, leadership, perseverance and resourcefulness; and encourages entrepreneurship, all in a fun and engaging environment.

Each year, the program features a new curriculum inspired by some of the nation’s most world-changing inventors — the National Inventors Hall of Fame inductees. This year’s Illuminate program encourages children to be confident in their ideas and explore their innovativeness through hands-on activities, including:

  • Let’s Glow: Campers explore the science of light through illuminating inventions and the genetic code of glowing animals
  • Prototyping Studio: Children star as contestants on a game show, where they mold, shape and transform their ideas into inventions
  • In the Game: As campers create their own light-up game board, they team up to tackle athletics, design, business and invention
  • Operation – HydroDrop: Children embark on a global operation to help solve water challenges around the world

All local Camp Invention programs are facilitated and taught by qualified educators who reside and teach in the community. Camp Invention serves 122,000 students every year and partners with more than 2,500 schools and districts across the nation. For more information and to register, visit invent.org/camp
