Camp Invention, a nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment camp program, is coming to Laguna Elementary School, 10475 E Lakeview Dr.,
Scottsdale the week of June 2.

A program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Camp Invention challenges children in grades K-6 to tap into their natural curiosity and use their creativity to solve problems, according to a press release.

Through hands-on activities, Camp Invention promotes STEM learning, builds confidence, leadership, perseverance and resourcefulness as well as encourages entrepreneurship.

Each year, the program features a new curriculum inspired by some of our nation’s most world-changing inventors — the National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees.

This year’s Discover program encourages children to be confident in their ideas and explore their innovativeness through hands-on experiences including:

• In Control: Campers take control of their innovation journey.
• Illusion Workshop: Children discover the world of illusions, where things are not always as they appear.
• Claw Arcade: Campers use their creativity and engineering skills to construct a functional claw arcade out of cardboard.
• Penguin Launch: Children embark on an eco-expedition to investigate penguins and the ice and snow of Antarctica.

All local Camp Invention programs are facilitated and taught by qualified educators who reside and teach in the community. Camp Invention serves 140,000 students every year and partners with more than 2,600 schools and districts across the nation.
