Camp Invention SPARK Camp!

Camp Invention’s new program, SPARK, offers 4 full days of hands-on STEM learning.

In Fur-ensics, campers sharpen their detective skills and discover how forensic science is used to solve crimes as they conduct their own critter crimes investigation. They explore the inner robotics of their capybara, create clever sleuthing gadgets and build critical thinking skills as they collect evidence to forensically analyze and narrow down their suspects.

In Make Waves, campers explore exciting entrepreneurship concepts, make ocean discoveries and ride the waves of innovation as they learn how to commercialize their inventions, from generating ideas to pitching invention prototypes to investors. They conduct hands-on buoyancy experiments, “make waves” in the market with customer research and build an innovative billboard boat to hook their target audience.

Space Morphers launches campers on a mission to terraform a new planet for human habitation as they create inventions to transform its atmosphere, terrain and ecosystem. After building their own DIY rocket, they study Earth’s systems, collect samples in a high-energy relay challenge, review data and record their observations in their Space Lab.

In The Infringers, campers spark the superpowers of the I Can Invent® Mindset, design and create an invention that solves a challenge in their community and learn how to protect their intellectual property with various security tools. They brainstorm, design and miniaturize a top-secret invention, design a wearable device that incorporates cryptography and file a provisional patent to safeguard designs from the Infringers.
