However, for this particular week, the two age groups (K-3rd and 4th-6th grade) will be together in one room. Projects will still be differentiated within the room to cater to the varying abilities of all participants.

Through engaging, hands-on activities, campers will create projects inspired by these inventions. Imagine building a simple machine like Da Vinci, experimenting with electricity like Edison, designing a communication device inspired by Bell, or even exploring the principles behind the first computer programs thanks to Ada Lovelace! We'll celebrate the diverse minds that have shaped our world, encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity as we explore their impact. Our activities will be designed to engage all campers, with variations to suit the developmental levels of both our younger and older participants within the shared room. Get ready to discover the power of ingenuity and maybe even spark the inventor within!
