If you hear "STEM camp" and imagine a bunch of kids sitting around a computer for 8 hours a day, then think again. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics get an invigorating boost with the unique programs at Camp Invention.
Why is Camp Invention Unique?
Camp Invention has been around since 1990, and they believe every child (and teen) has the natural curiosity to become an inventor.
STEM camps have taken off in recent years due to their ability to teach real-life skills to young people. Principles of engineering and math, constructing robotics, and writing code are all helpful abilities that your kid can take with them through school and future careers.
But a couple crucial questions often go unanswered in STEM camps. The first question is: Will my child want to learn these new skills?
Camp Invention, most of all, makes STEM fun. This camp fosters creativity and innovation. Young people enrolled in camp become active participants.
They learn and use engineering principles to build planes, gliders, and rockets, and get to see them fly in real life. They learn problem-solving skills to brainstorm ideas to help the planet's environment.
And Camp Invention is collaborative too. Students aren't isolated during this experience. They get to laugh and be social while participating in all the various activities, which greatly enhances their desire to learn.
Perhaps most importantly, Camp Invention lives up to its name by fostering creativity. Children and teens are imbued with the power to become the inventors, budding geniuses, and business leaders of tomorrow.
Camp Invention's programs help kids come up with new ideas based in STEM, create blueprints and sketches, build prototypes, and even think about how to market their creations!
In today's America, a strong educational background is practically required to be successful. An evaluation of Camp Invention showed that enrollees in the camp resulted in increased average school GPA and test scores, proving that students take these skills with them.
