Recharge your child’s summer at Camp Invention!

For 35 years, the National Inventors Hall of Fame® (NIHF) has inspired millions of children through its flagship summer program, Camp Invention®. This weeklong program is led by qualified local educators and teaches children in grades K-6 how to cultivate the mindset of an innovator.

Each year, our education team collaborates with NIHF Inductees to create a brand-new STEM curriculum that embraces hands-on learning. In our innovative program, Recharge, campers build confidence and collaborate to take on four exciting challenges, constructing their own inventions to solve real-world problems.

Open Mic

Children receive their very own wireless microphone, which they can use to not only amplify but transform their voices in fun ways. Taking their microphone apart, they discover how it works and explore all its parts to find inspiration for building their own invention. Using powerful pitch skills, they have the opportunity to promote their incredible creation.

Duck Chuck

Campers explore the power of physics while launching rubber ducks to famous landmarks around the world. They build and test their own launching device, experiment with concepts like trajectory and velocity, and then improve on their device through the process of prototyping. Once their final modifications are complete, they create a unique advertising campaign to promote their work.

SolarBot

Children build and adopt their own solar-powered robotic cricket and experience the creature’s point of view as they build habitats, cricket-inspired inventions and protective gear to outsmart predators. Inspired by their discovery of how crickets make sound, children create their own musical instruments to compete in a grand finale Chirp-Off!

Road Rally

Campers start their engines and apply nature-based discoveries to design their own unique morphing vehicle. They design, construct and test both propeller-operated and pulley-operated vehicles to explore their capabilities on land, and they add imaginative prototype elements to move through the air and underwater. Finally, campers test their speed in the exciting Super Road Rally.
