When students attend Camp Invention®, they get so much more than a typical camp experience. Camp Invention boosts confidence through STEM education as kids build creative inventions and lasting friendships. As children learn through hands-on activities that encourage curiosity and collaboration, they learn that their ideas are important. Because the camp’s long-standing traditions are rooted in a belief that children can build the same innovative mindset as the world’s greatest inventors, they leave with the “I Can Invent® Mindset” that allows them to do just that.
Educators and Parents See the Camp Invention Effect
There is a clear reason why Camp Invention has grown to serve over 1.5 million young innovators across the county. They return home from camp brimming with excitement and confidence, ready to take on the next challenge. Educators and parents are often the first to witness this “Camp Invention Effect.”
Life After Camp Invention
The innovation doesn’t have to stop after the Camp Invention experience. The National Inventors Hall of Fame® offers programs to foster STEM education that grows right along with your child.
Leaders-In-Training (Grades 7-9)
This program offers middle school kids the opportunity to participate in Camp Invention by leading campers in grades K-6 through high-energy STEM experiences at a local camp. This program can help your child build crucial leadership skills as they provide guidance and encouragement to younger campers.
Leadership Interns (High School/College Students)
As Leadership Interns, young leaders work closely with Camp Invention participants to help them explore STEM concepts and become creative thinkers who can invent a better tomorrow. This volunteer opportunity helps to refine communication skills and gain valuable hands-on experience interacting with educators, young learners and parents. Leadership Interns help children build an innovative mindset while also building their college resumes!
CIC – Collegiate Inventors Competition
The Collegiate Inventors Competition® gives young inventors the chance to bring national attention to their work, enjoy unique networking opportunities, gain valuable feedback from our National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees, and compete for cash prizes and patent acceleration.
