WHEATLAND – From the marble arcade to robotic aquatics, elementary students from all over Platte County came to learn science, awaken the inventor creativity within them and to generally have fun.
Camp Invention, a nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment program, came to West Elementary June 27 - July 1 and this year hosted 90 students.
Camp Invention challenges children in grades K-6 through hands-on activities, promotes STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning; builds confidence, leadership, perseverance and resourcefulness; and encourages entrepreneurship — all in a fun and engaging environment.
NIHF's The Attic™ saw campers combine science and art to build their own robotic artist, engage in design thinking, make spin art and learn how inventions can change the way people create.
In Spacecation™ the kids discovered real space exploration technology when they created Spacepacks and Astro-Arm devices, mined an asteroid and observed erupting ice volcanoes.
