Shakopee Community Education

Camp Invention’s new program, Discover, is an inspiring, week-long summer experience that provides opportunities for open-ended, hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering and more! Campers take on a variety of exhilarating activities each day, have fun collaborating with friends, think creatively and invent their own solutions to real-world challenges. The all-new 2025 program will spark the imagination of both new and returning campers with an adventure full of inspiration, innovation and unforgettable discoveries! During this action-packed, confidence-boosting program, young innovators will:

• Use physics and engineering in Claw Arcade to make a DIY claw machine and explore entrepreneurship principles as they hook investors on their arcade experiences.
• Be introduced to optical illusions and create their own spinning animation device in Illusion Workshop and become special effects experts.
• Discover how Artificial Intelligence is imbedded in everyday road trip items like GPS and rise to the challenge to create their own Control Panel to send secret morse code messages in In Control.
• Embark on an eco-expedition with Snow-ver in Penguin Launch. Snow-ver is a robotic research penguin that campers will use to investigate penguin habitats while creating flippers and launchers to propel their own plush magnetic penguins across the South Pole.

Meets five times.
