Camp Invention slated at QCISD

Camp Invention, a national educational program recognized for fostering innovative-thinking, real-world problem solving, and the spirit of invention, is coming to J. K. Hileman Elementary School the week of June 23 - 27.
The weeklong day camp experience for students entering grades first through sixth encourages inventive young minds through hands-on problem solving, using science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a fun and creative atmosphere.
“We are thrilled to be offering Camp Invention to more children this year interested in these focus areas,” said Barbara Myer camp invention director at Allen ISD and district advanced academics/gifted and talented coordinator. “Selecting a camp is an important decision for parents and our goal is to provide children with a curriculum that allows them to fully express their inventive young minds by exploring different types of technology, through real-world problem solving challenges, building things and taking them apart, while still having fun and developing new skills. Every year I am impressed by not only the level of thinking and time that goes into the curriculum, but also by the level of fun and excitement that I see on my students’ faces.”
