Explore New Technology This Summer at Camp Invention

This summer in the all-new Camp Invention® program Supercharged™, campers will operate two futuristic robots throughout the week as they explore STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) concepts and apply hands-on problem solving to overcome daily obstacles.

Read on to learn more about the exclusive technologies Camp Invention participants will take advantage of in this year’s program.

Exploring Coding and Programming with Bot-ANN-E

During the Farm Tech™ module, campers will be challenged to transform a polluted wasteland into a thriving farm and business. To complete their mission, each camper will work with a robot called Bot-ANN-E (inspired by botany, the study of plants). ANN-E stands for Automated Nature Nurturing Equipment. This programmable robot is specifically designed to teach fundamental coding techniques.  Children will program the Bot-ANN-E robot to accomplish various tasks such as planting seeds and herding farm animals to learn how automated technology can maximize their time and profits.    

Motors, Gears and More with DIY Orbot

Equipped with safety goggles and screwdrivers, campers will reverse engineer a DIY Orbot™, a zippy, whirling, twirling remote-controlled robot. They will explore the relationship between antennas, circuit boards, motors and gears, discovering how frequency is used to communicate to the robot. Campers will then implement their new knowledge in engineering design principles to optimize their DIY Orbot and overcome various challenges ranging from art and sports to a seemingly impossible obstacle course. 

Every camper will also leave at the end of the week with their very own DIY Orbot, so they can continue the fun of Camp Invention at home!

Inductees’ Inventions and Innovations

Every summer, Camp Invention offers a new curriculum designed to introduce children to STEM concepts and the latest technology. Our curriculum is directly influenced by National Inventors Hall of Fame® Inductees. Through extensive interviews and research, their stories of problem solving, failing, trying again and accomplishing their goals are woven into our program, providing children with valuable inspiration, daily challenges and the opportunity to experience real-world success.
