How does the camp work?
Young Inventors is a completely free program to develop the creative thinking and problem-solving minds of children.
Young Inventors meets for five sessions from July 24th-August 21st on Sundays 10AM-11AM. All sessions are held virtually, through Zoom.
Throughout the camp, highschoolers will mentor young children in going through the Invention Process.
