2024 Shocker STEM Camp
In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame庐 (NIHF), 黑洞社区's Corbin Connect is pleased to offer the nationally acclaimed Camp Invention庐 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
- Investigate light in LEDs, fiber optics & animals
- Discover mysteries with UV light, enhancing Glow Box
- Solve global water challenges, personalize lab-on-wheels
- Gather data, solve problems to help people & planet
- Learn about water's role, become hydro heroes
- Star on prototyping game show to find ultimate inventing place
- Generate ideas, collaborate for rapid prototyping challenges
- Protect creations with intellectual property, realize invention anywhere
Our teachers and staff are excited to work with many surrounding area students for an amazing week of STEM fun!
