Introduce Innovative Role Models

Research shows that exposure to innovation during childhood can increase the likelihood that a child will become an innovative adult. With this in mind, each summer’s brand-new Camp Invention curriculum is directly inspired and informed by world-changing innovators: National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees. These are individuals whose work has shaped our society and made our lives easier, healthier, safer and more fulfilling.

When you give children the opportunity to attend Camp Invention, you introduce them to these extraordinary yet relatable role models, in whom children can see themselves reflected. Getting to know these inventors inspires every child to recognize their own potential. 
 

Spark Confidence, Collaboration and Creative Problem Solving

Thanks to your monthly donations, children in your community will learn to see themselves as inventors as they take on exciting STEM challenges at Camp Invention. This one-of-a-kind camp builds confidence and persistence through hands-on learning and helps young innovators develop a sense of pride and responsibility for their work.  

Just one week of Camp Invention is proven to result in both short- and long-term improvements in creativity, STEM interest, collaboration and problem solving, and children demonstrate even greater gains when they attend Camp Invention more than once. Plus, campers benefit from opportunities to naturally form friendships as they work together to solve real-world problems and achieve shared goals.

Boost Academic Achievement and a Love of Learning

Your steady support empowers the next generation of your community’s leaders to build an innovative mindset and essential life skills while inspiring them to develop a lifelong love of learning.

When children have the opportunity to attend Camp Invention, it leads them to grow more confident in their science and math abilities and sets them up to achieve greater academic success. Participating in this camp during the summer is shown to increase performance and engagement the following school year. In fact, camp attendance contributes to better school attendance, a higher GPA and improved test scores — three keys to ensuring readiness for any career path.
