Camp Invention is happening at Innovate Albion this week! We have 14 future inventors exploring four unique lessons over the next two weeks. They are learning about wacky wild illusions, embarking on eco-expeditions to investigate penguins across Antarctica, they'll learn about the inventor of GPS as they create their ultimate road trip and engineer a fully-operational cardboard Claw Arcade.

A special thanks to Albion's Men Who Give who provide financial support for this program making partial and full scholarships available for all students.

We've had so much fun over the last three days, good thing we still have SEVEN days of fun left!
