camp invention

All National Inventors Hall of Fame education programs are built on the belief that every child can invent. Through open-ended, hands-on exploration, children build the I Can Invent Mindset - a growth mindset infused with lessons from world-changing inventors - that enables and empowers them in all areas of their lives. Camp will be divided into four modules that will unlock creative potential by including opportunities for campers to experience design thinking, creative problem solving, entrepreneurship, intellectual property, innovation, persistence, confidence, and innovation.
