On June 10-14, Camp Invention was hosted at the La Grange Elementary School, where kids ages K-6 participated in activities like building a HydroDrop, learning about the science of light, and creating their own games. Mrs. Pietsch, one of the camps directors, says that the reason they host the camp is because “There are a lot of students that when in the classroom don’t really get a chance to do those open ended creative projects that we do here” and that “Camp Invention is a S.T.E.M camp, and it helps kids build up their science skills while still letting them foster their creativity.”
