“The National Inventors Hall of Fame program exceedingly met the areas of creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking. The students were excited about coming to school, unheard of for summer school, and want this program next year.”

“The [students] are completely engaged from the minute they get there until the minute they leave. It really is a great week.”

“My son was thrilled to meet Eric Fossum, present his invention & have a chance to ask questions. He is still talking about meeting Dr. Fossum a week later! I think it really showed him that inventing & building new things actually impact other people.”

“The students LOVED Club Invention! As their STEM teacher I could see them applying the skills and content learned through the club in their regular STEM time. As for the program, I was pleased with how easy it was to instruct the program.”

“I have had 14 students attend the program. It has been absolutely amazing! I can't say enough good things about Club Invention. This is the way education should be in the classroom, every day! I'm so pleased to have been a part of it. Thank you!”

“These kids are so filled with enthusiasm and excitement because they are experiencing and seeing things for the first time.”

“The activities and the skills that they learn at Camp Invention really transfer to the outside world. They’re encouraged to come up with ideas, brainstorm, hypothesize and make mistakes — it’s all part of the learning process!”

“Kids learn by experiencing things, not by studying things and repeating what they study. Providing an environment where children can learn the material, how it comes together, and how it works, in a climate of play, that’s an unbelievable thing.”

“Math, science and invention are some of the greatest places for creativity with our children.”

“I love seeing the innovative and inventive creations campers produce and genuinely enjoy watching the older students step in as leaders and teachers throughout the week of camp.”
