Camp Invention coming to East Georgia State College

Nationally Recognized Summer STEM Camp Makes Innovation Fun

Camp Invention®, a nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment camp program, is coming to East Georgia State College the week of July 7.

A program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame® in partnership with the United States Pa-tent 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 re-sourcefulness; and encourages entrepreneurship — all in a fun and engaging environment.

Each year, the program features a new curriculum inspired by some of our nation’s most world-changing inventors — the National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees. This year’s Dis-cover program encourages children to be confident in their ideas and explore their innovative-ness through hands-on experiences including:

In Control™: Campers take control of their innovation journey as they head out on the ulti-mate road trip.

Illusion Workshop™: Children discover the mesmerizing world of illusions, where things are not always as they appear.

Claw Arcade™: Campers use their creativity and engineering skills to construct a functional Claw Arcade out of cardboard.

Penguin Launch™: Children embark on an eco-expedition to investigate penguins and the ice and snow of Antarctica.

All local Camp Invention programs are facilitated and taught by qualified educators who re-side and teach in the community. Camp Invention serves 140,000 students every year and partners with more than 2,600 schools and districts across the nation. For more information or to register, visit invent.org/camp.
