Invention Project®
Invention Project®
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.
Mr. Ruiz
Children build confidence and STEM competency while earning special certifications in a series of fun, hands-on challenges. They build their own personalized DIY Orbot to earn a Designer certification, take apart their bot to earn the title of Mechanic, transform their bot into a bot-dozer that knocks down towers to become a Construction Manager, and prepare their bot to play soccer, create art and perform a dance routine to become a Personal Trainer, Artist and Choreographer.
This course emphasizes:
Building persistence by completing a series of tasks with their robots.
Overcoming a series of challenges to build confidence in their problem-solving abilities.
Exploring lessons in reverse engineering and the invention process.
Ms. Salinas
In this empowering module, children voice their ideas as their imaginations are amplified through invention and entrepreneurship! First, they reverse engineer a wireless microphone, and then they follow the Camp Invention Design Thinking Process to develop and pitch their own amazing inventions.
This course emphasizes:
Gaining confidence by sharing original ideas and delivering persuasive invention pitches.
Discovering the power and purpose of intellectual property through lessons from world-changing inventors.
Practicing design thinking by moving from sketches to prototypes to marketable products.
