Newton Community Education’s Camp Invention will return this summer for Grades 1-6, at Newton South HS.  Formerly named Club Invention, this year Camp Invention offers two one-week programs:

Week 1 (“Create”), July 6-10:  The physics of motion applied to prototypes of roller coasters and other amusement park rides; eco-friendly solutions to the pollution problems of the imaginary “Sludge City”; designing a spacecraft to return from a crash-landing on a strange planet; taking apart objects from home; building new inventions.

Week 2 (“Illuminate:), July 13-17:   Freestyle racing kart to traverse an obstacle course; designing prototypes; investigating magnified objects and circuits; designing life-saving devices, super-structure mega-towers, and space rockets; taking apart electronics from home to re-engineer a new video game.

Both weeks run 9AM-3:30PM (or 8:30AM-5:30PM) and include outdoor games.  Kids will be grouped by age.  Bring snack and lunch.  Register online or by calling 617-559-6999.
