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. Through hands-on
activities, Camp Invention promotes STEM learning; builds confidence,
leadership, perseverance and resourcefulness; and encourages
entrepreneurship — all in a fun and engaging environment.
Each year, the program features new curricula inspired by some of our
nation’s most world-changing inventors — the National Inventors Hall of
Fame Inductees. This year’s Spark program encourages children to be
confident in their ideas and explore their innovativeness through
hands-on activities including:
- Space Morphers™:
Kids build a DIY rocket and launch an epic mission to transform a new
planet’s atmosphere, terrain and ecosystem. After a high-energy Rover
Race to collect samples and data, they grow dazzling crystal trees and
hatch a mysterious animal egg in a Space Lab. - Make Waves™:
Campers ride the waves of entrepreneurship and invention! Inspired by a
surfer’s journey, they create prototypes, pitch their innovative
products to hook investors and build a billboard boat to set sail and
“make waves” in the market. - Fur-ensics™:
Kids sharpen their animal detective skills with Cap E. Bara and a fleet
of robotic capybaras. They investigate a trail of footprints, collect
bits of fluffy fur and examine suspicious splatters before forensically
analyzing evidence that has a surprising twist. - The Infringers™:
Campers use their invention superpowers to solve challenges in their
community and around the world. They miniaturize top-secret innovations,
safeguard their designs using cryptography and protect their
intellectual property from the Infringers.
“I love that this camp lets my kids step out of the usual roles that
they have at home and in school, and explore different parts of
themselves,” said the parent of 2025 Camp Invention campers. “At camp my
son learns to be more creative and my daughter learns to be more
independent.”
All local Camp Invention programs are facilitated and taught by
qualified educators who reside and teach in the community. Camp
Invention serves 147,000 students every year and partners with more than
2,600 schools and districts across the nation. For more information or
