Camp Invention, a nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment program, is coming to Springfield Middle School for multiple sessions from July 11 to 21.
Camp Invention challenges children in grades kindergarten through six using hands-on activities. It promotes science, technology, engineering and mathematics learning; builds confidence, leadership, perseverance and resourcefulness, and encourages entrepreneurship in a fun and engaging environment.
This year’s program includes:
•Robotic Aquatics–children will dive into cuttingedge ocean research as they adopt their own aquatic animals, design and patent aquatic plants, and take their new friend home in a mini tank.
•The Attic–campers will combine science and art to build their own robotic artist, engage in design thinking, make spin art and learn how inventions can change the way people create.
•Spacecation–children will discover real space exploration technology when they create Spacepacks and Astro-Arm devices, mine an asteroid and observe erupting ice volcanoes.
•Marble Arcade– campers will experiment with the fun of physics, engineering and gaming as they design, build and test their own mega marble arcades.
