Camp Invention

Anna attended Camp Invention this week hosted at her school. It was a week of very creative and inventive fun. The kids each had to bring an old electronic item to "take apart" and understand the inner workings of this item. Being the computer geek household, Anna took an old hard drive. The kids also had to brings lots of recyled materials to use throughout the week. On Friday the camp hosted the "inventors showcase" and we got to walk through what a day was like for her. She showed us her invention which was a "CD Checker" that made sure that CD's worked and were not scratched and cleaned them if they were scratched. She got a "mock patent" for her invention. She used the old hard drive to make this invention. She also showed us her robot that actually walked around. So awesome to see the spark in her face when she showed us how it worked. She learned so much this week and is already ready for next year. Love that camp for sure!!
