Camp Invention launched an exciting week of STEM learning with 52 girls in grades K–5 participating in hands-on innovation and discovery! 🚀🔬💡

Mrs. Sands and her team of teachers and student volunteers created a well-organized and engaging experience as campers rotated through interactive learning stations throughout the day.

Throughout the week, campers built and launched rockets, explored forensic science with robotic capybaras, designed entrepreneurial projects, and learned how to protect their inventions through cryptography and patents. From Space Morphers to Fur-ensics, Make Waves, and The Infringers, students embraced creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration while tackling exciting STEM challenges.
