Last week, 43 students participated in Camp Invention at CRES! This camp was full of STEM adventures that spark creativity, utilize problem-solving, build confidence, and ignite a lifelong love for learning. The camp consisted of 4 themes: Illusion Workshop, In Control, Claw Arcade, and Penguin Launch. In Illusion Workshop, campers explored and created their own optical illusions. Campers customized and built claw machines after learning about claws in nature in Claw Arcade. In Penguin Launch, campers went on an eco-exploration to learn about snowy habitats while constructing robotic penguins. Lastly, in the In Control classroom, campers built functioning control panels with Morse code transmitters and receivers.
