Camp Invention® is coming to Sharon Elementary!

 

In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame^® (NIHF), Sharon Elementary School is excited to offer the nationally acclaimed Camp Invention® program to children entering K through 6th grade. This inspiring, weeklong summer experience provides opportunities for open-ended, hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering and more! Taking on a variety of exhilarating activities each day, children have fun collaborating with friends, thinking creatively and inventing their own solutions to real-world challenges.

 

The week begins on June 16, 2025. The all-new 2025 program will ignite the imagination of both new and returning campers with an adventure full of inspiration, innovation and unforgettable discoveries!

 

During this action-packed, confidence-boosting program, young innovators will:

 

• Make their own personalized claw machine complete with one-of-a-kind prizes as they discover hands-on physics, explore animals with claws and become entrepreneurs

 

• Uncover the science behind optical illusions in art, movies, theater and animation, designing and testing various illusions and inventing moving props to become special effects experts

 

• Rev up for the ultimate road trip complete with a transmitter and receiver, custom dashboard and travel map, choosing their own path and inventing their way out of bumps in the road

 

• Embark on an epic eco-expedition to investigate penguins and the ice and snow of Antarctica, developing penguin and planet-saving prototypes with the help of a robotic assistant

Challenge Island is a unique program that provides STEAM enrichment in the form of summer camp right at your school! Students work in STEAM teams with other kids their age to conquer fun engineering challenges. This gives them the opportunity to learn about exciting new concepts while also acquiring important team work and social emotional skills!

Challenge Island will be held at Sharon Elementary from July 8th-July 12th, 9:00 AM-2:00 PM. The theme is Mine Island- a kids choice favorite! Some activities include:

 

• Forts- Students learn about medieval fortresses and create a 3-dimensional shelter for their STEAM teams!

• Slingshots and Catapults- Students learn about elasticity, potential and kinetic energy while creating different types of launchers!

• Rockets- Students learn about the different parts of a rocket and how they work together to make it aerodynamic. They then work with their teams to make Ender Dragon stomp rockets!

• Slime- Students learn about polymers and non-newtonian fluids and make different types of slime!

• Plankton- Students learn about bioluminescent plankton and create their own that can achieve neutral buoyancy!
