BEDFORD – In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame® (NIHF), North Lawrence Community Schools is pleased to offer the nationally-acclaimed Camp Invention program to children entering kindergarten through sixth grade.
There will be a Leaders in Training program for incoming seventh through ninth graders. This exciting, weeklong summer adventure provides opportunities for open-ended, hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering, and more.
Rotating through a variety of exciting activities each day, children have fun collaborating with friends, thinking creatively and inventing their own solutions to real-world challenges.
The week begins on June 27 with Jamie Sterling Hooten serving as Director. This is her fifth year as Director.
The all-new 2022 program will thrill both new and returning campers with an expedition full of far-reaching explorations, fascinating discoveries, and exhilarating “a-ha” moments.
During this dynamic, high-energy program, young innovators will:
- Dive into cutting-edge ocean research as they adopt their own robotic fish, design and patent aquatic plants, and take their fish friend home in a mini tank.
- Discover real space exploration technology when they create Spacepacks and Astro-Arm devices, mine an asteroid, and observe erupting ice volcanoes.
- 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.
- Experiment with the fun of physics, engineering, and gaming as they design, build, and test their own mega marble arcades.
