Camp Invention - Coming to Grainwood this Summer!

Camp Invention is Coming to Grainwood featuring the Morphed Program  
June 9-13 from 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. 



This camp is for students who are entering 1st to 6th grade!

Please go to www.campinvention.org to register!

Students take apart electronics to build an epic, insect-themed pinball machine in our I Can Invent: Pinbug module. They’ll use tools to uncover mechanical guts and upcycle them into bumpers, targets and scoreboards. Then they’ll angle their way into pinball physics, anatomy and math by propelling the ball onto the playfield with the ultimate DIY cardboard launcher and insect leg flippers to rack up points and win the Pinbug Jackpot. 
Design Studio: Morphed! is a participant-led module that allows your students to invent and tinker with circuits and design solutions to nature-based challenges. Children work together as entrepreneurs, team leaders, and designers as they prepare to bring their invention to market in an environment modeled after real-world research and development spaces. Set your students’ imaginations free as they receive video messages sent by inventors from the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the  

In our Amplified module, students explore the dynamic realm of the five senses on a bionic adventure. They’ll form research teams and unlock clues to uncover nature’s blueprints, which hold the key to superhuman senses. To build essential STEM skills, they’ll develop bionic gadgets and explore sensory illusions. They’ll even shoot information down zip-lines to a bionic brain in a final challenge to decode a mega-sensory mix-up. Amplify your students’ senses in this sensational module!

Students build morphing vehicles that operate on land, in the air and underwater in our exciting Super Go module. They’ll utilize nature’s designs to explore energy, fuel, movement, and animal features, and then they’ll apply these discoveries to motor-powered vehicles, in preparation for the Super Go Road Rally. Your students will build ramps, tunnels and high-speed STEM skills that put them on the fast track to success.

Thank you!
