More About Camp
Inspire a passion for science in your child! New activities every year, over 50 locations and three different kinds of Camp Invention programs in Pennsylvania!
Kids participate in each of these activities every day:
I Can Invent: Fantasy Inventions and Complicated Machines III - Use real tools to take apart old appliances and see how they work, then create a model of your own invention. Older campers participate in a Rube Goldberg team challenge that starts a (safe) explosion.
Hatched! – Help save a virtual world and become an entrepreneur in the avatar marketplace.
SMArt: Science, Math, and Art – Explore "cool math" like tessellations, fractals, and more!
Power'd – Discover how to use natural energy sources and build your own motorized pet.
Global Games - Children explore cultures from across the world as they play games from far away lands, recreate history and are challenged to work together.
Directed and taught by qualified local educators, Camp Invention is a national, non-profit STEM enrichment program from Invent Now Kids in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
