Cambridge-Isanti Community Education

Camp Invention has brought authentic invention education to children and educators across the country for more than 30 years. Real-world challenges lead children through unique STEM experiences that foster critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. During this action-packed, confidence-boosting program, week-long camp, young innovators will discover four all new adventures in hands on invention education. DISCOVER, this year’s brand-new program, provides you and your students with: Campers will use physics and engineering to make a DIY claw machine in Claw Arcade and explore entrepreneurship principles as they hook investors on their arcade experiences. In Illusion Workshop, they are introduced to optical illusions and create their own spinning animation device while they become special effects experts. During In Control, campers will be put in the driver’s seat by discovering how Artificial Intelligence is imbedded in everyday road trip items like GPS and they rise to the challenge to create their own Control Panel to send secret morse code messages. Campers embark on an eco-expedition in Penguin Launch with Snow-ver, a robotic research penguin to investigate penguin habitats while creating flippers and launchers to propel their own plush magnetic penguins across the South Pole.
