Welcome to the Inventors’ Showcase
program!
Everyone has had a great time
brainstorming ideas, exploring concepts, and constructing inventions this week at Camp Invention! They never cease to astonish us with their
innovative ideas and amazing enthusiasm for discovering and learning through
hands-on fun. It’s hard to believe that the week is over; here’s a recap of
what we did on our last day…
On our final day in the Ecoverse™
module, we prepared to dig down deep as we investigated clues indicating nearby fossils. We invented super digging machines and used
them to uncover hidden fossil treasures. We became full-fledged expeditionists and received our
final glyph to complete our petrosphere, having mastered the Earth’s elements!
It was the final day in Cache
Dash™ and we finished designing solutions to our nature extreme global
challenges. We then received a message from Hawai’i thanking us for our
outstanding inventing and solution-finding and we earned a final cache. We used
its contents to design our own personal signet ring that we can use in future outdoor
treasure hunting to log in and to leave our mark on the world!
At last! In Amazing
Atlas™, we found our journey ended in the extreme cold as the latitude and
longitude coordinates revealed we were in the middle of Antarctica, one of the
most uninhabited places on Earth! We invented a “glacier digger” and discovered
how challenging it is to bore through ice and examine ice samples. Our training
is complete, and we are ready to take on new challenges wherever we go!
Victory! Our ducks made a splash as they flew home today in
the I Can Invent: Launchitude™
module! We showed off our Duck Chucking Device by launching our international
rubber ducks and destroying competitor duck territory! Be sure to take a picture of our machines in action after the Inventor's Showcase!
This week, we’ve had lots of fun making connections between
teamwork and creative problem solvingin the Geo-Games™ module. We learned
to play old games in new ways and new games in old ways and realized that games can be whatever you
make them!
make them!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS:
TODAY at 2:45pm, the children will be hosting the Inventors’ Showcase program. This is their
chance to show off what they’ve been busy doing this week. All family and
friends are welcome and encouraged to come.
