PARKWAY

Camp Invention, the nation’s premier summer enrichment day camp program, supported by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and a product of the National Inventors Hall of Fame is coming to Parkway Manor Elementary School June 27-30.

For students entering grades one through six, Camp Invention is a week-long adventure that will turn the summer from ordinary to extraordinary through hands-on problem solving, using science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Camp Invention provides an opportunity for inventive young minds to exercise their creativity and use their imagination in ways they don’t normally get to in the classroom.

This year’s Camp Invention curriculum is called Epic inspired by some of this nation’s most brilliant minds including experienced educators,

Epic features hands-on modules such as CrickoBot, where campers construct and personalize a DIY solar-powered cricket and a unique habitat; Epic Park, where campers work in teams to design an eco-adventure park; I Can Invent: Maker Studio, where campers brainstorm product ideas and build original prototypes using real tools and components found in everyday devices; and The Lab: Where Pigs Fly, where children can discover the science of slime, demolition, electronic sound, giant squid and coding.
