About
Camp Invention features hands-on challenges where children take part in entrepreneurship, brainstorm bright ideas, and pitch their own prototypes. Participants explore the wonders of ocean science, launch a mission to find and prepare a brand-new planet for human life, invent tools to handle extreme conditions, reshape the terrain, and breathe life into their exoplanet. They also tackle tricky problems from their own backyards to far-off places by dreaming up bold new inventions, and they engage in mystery-solving as they crack a string of silly crimes, follow puzzling footprints, gather tufts of fluffy fur, examine curious splatters, and uncover wacky clues, with activities that include a trusty team of robotic capybaras and joining forces with the Innovation Force, real-life superhero inventors from the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

Camp Invention is for children entering grades K–6 and offers an all-new 2026 Camp Invention experience, with curriculum that can vary per site. The program’s education team collaborates with National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees to create new program curricula each year, and it offers education programs that combine hands-on fun and creativity with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concepts. The National Inventors Hall of Fame has been honoring the spirit of innovation and promoting inventors as role models since 1973, impacting more than 4 million children, students, educators and innovators across the nation, with several programs promoting innovation for all ages in all communities. Its mission is to make STEM education accessible and promote innovation across the country through these collaborations.
The leadership team for program development and education includes Rachelle Albrechta (Director of Program Development), Jayme Cellitioci (Senior Director of Education), Ashley Giordano (Manager of Program Management), Susie Duchon (Education Specialist), Rachel Lutes (Curriculum Writer), Emily Mitchell (Senior Content Writer), Sara Pompeo (Editor), Maggie Saine (Spanish Services Lead & Education Specialist), and Jennifer Sitton (Director of Science & Product Development). In partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the National Inventors Hall of Fame honors the legacies of visionary U.S. patent holders, works with over 2,500 schools and districts nationwide and in Puerto Rico, and is supported by 2,144 philanthropic partners focused on making STEM education more accessible.
