The S.C. Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics will serve as a host site for a popular summer enrichment program known as Camp Invention, July 14-18, for students entering grades one through six.
Camp Invention is a weeklong educational experience that fosters creativity, teamwork, inventive thinking and science literacy among elementary school children. Campers work on various projects through which they learn scientific concepts such as buoyancy, probability and statistics. the Governor’s School is just one of more than 900 sites in 47 states hosting the program this year.
Camp Invention began in 1990 as an education outreach program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation in Akron, Ohio, with support from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. By 1995, the program was able to go nationwide.
This summer, more than 60,000 children are expected to participate in Camp Invention. To learn more, call (800) 968-4332 or visit www.campinvention.org, or call the Governor’s School outreach office at (843) 383-3901, ext. 3941.
