Camp Invention builds on a child's innate curiosity and intuition about the way things work.
Emphasis is placed on the creative process that leads to problem solving, discovery, and invention.
Camp Invention's purpose is to stimulate the imaginations of America's next generation of inventors. The program is the premier educational outreach for the National Inventor's Hall of Fame. It's never too early to start teaching people about the value of intellectual property and the role of the patent and trademark system. The camp session event will be held at Henry Clay Elementary School, located at 13231 Burley St., Chicago. The Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office advises the Secretary of Commerce and other Federal departments and agencies on intellectual property policy matters.
