ONE CHILD AT A TIME -
Aug 2-6, 2010
On August 2, fifty enthusiastic kids
grades 1 through 6 descended on Headwaters Science Center,
for five days of creative activities where they learned how
to invent things out of common household items. Called
Camp Invention, it has become an annual affair at the
Center, and really stirs the creative juices in youngsters,
and they have a lot of fun doing it!
The Camp Invention program this year consisted of
five exciting modules designed to provide a unique
opportunity to explore the unknown, tinker with ideas, and
satisfy an innate sense of curiosity. Children must tap into
their creativity to solve real-world challenges and work as
a team, using problem-solving as a portal to discovery.
Renowned for the difference it’s making nationwide, this
enrichment program provides a safe, creative outlet for
children to extend school year learning through fun,
hands-on activities that develop important life skills that
prepare them for the 21st century.
Here is a sampling of kids at work from
the 2010 Camp Invention
