Camp Invention®, a nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment program, is coming to Churchville-Chili’s Chestnut Ridge Elementary School the week of July 17 through July 21.
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.
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™: Campers take on the role of event planners as they throw a party celebrating creativity and innovation.
•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™: Big ideas come to life as campers design their own mini pop-up business.
