In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame® (NIHF), Wichita State University's Corbin Connect is pleased to offer the nationally acclaimed Camp Invention® program to children entering second through fifth grade. This exciting, weeklong summer adventure provides opportunities for open-ended exploration of science, technology, engineering and more! Children rotate through a variety of hands-on activities each day while collaborating with friends to think creatively and invent their own solutions to real-world challenges.

The camp week runs June 3-7 with two Wichita Public School teachers serving as STEM instructors, and the program lineup is the best yet, so whether your child is a new or returning camper, they are in for an amazing week full of new discoveries and a-ha moments! During this energizing program, young innovators (aka campers) will:

• Create unique sports ball & light-up game using physics
• Explore sports balls & learn about intellectual property
• Use design thinking to join Game of Fame for innovation
• Explore biophysics, optics & electrical engineering for Glow Box
