VANGUARD

Spend a week being a part of something BIG! This all-new curriculum allows students to use real tools to uncover mechanics and upcycle them into exciting innovations. Activities dealing with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), creative problem solving, and hands-on applications will further their 21st-century critical-thinking skills. Children will be inspired by real inventor challenges, develop prototypes of invention ideas and market their inventions to peers. Each child receives an Inventor Log to track ideas, take notes and make drawings, just like Inductees from the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Finally, children team up for some high-energy games that get them running, jumping, strategizing, and thinking on their feet. Sign up today, because our new program fills up fast!
