Camp Invention

Camp Invention is a week-long STEM day camp for kids entering grades K-6, run by the National Inventors Hall of Fame and taught by local educators at a host school in Marietta. The week totals about 32.5 hours: campers open each day with high-energy team games, spend the core of the day on hands-on STEM build challenges, then explore stories of world-changing inventors and wind down with problem-solving games before pickup. The curriculum is standards-aligned, and independent evaluations have found a week of the program produces short- and long-term gains in creativity, interest in STEM, collaboration and problem-solving.
