We are pleased to continue our partnership with National Inventors Hall of Fame® to bring Invention Project® to Ector County ISD. Invention Project® helps transform students into innovators by offering themed modules packed with hands-on challenges that encourage problem finding and solving, risk-taking and exploration. Developed by our team of educators and inspired by world-changing inventors, every experience is aligned with national and state education standards.
All students participate in both Invention Project® courses throughout Camp SIP.
