The camp, sponsored by the Department of Biological Sciences, inspires creativity and inventive-thinking through science, math, history and the arts. It offers children hands-on activities with five age-appropriate modules each day including disassembling old machinery and using parts to make their own inventions in the I Can Invent™ module; rebuilding a cleaner, more eco-friendly city in the Saving Sludge City™ module and art with recycled materials in the Art Park™ module. "I have chosen to continue offering Camp Invention to the Hattiesburg community because I believe in the curriculum," said Aimée T. Lee, Southern Miss Camp Invention program director. "It is hands-on and mind-on learning and fun for all who are involved." MaKayla Hay, second-grader from Oak Grove, disassembles a phone to make her own invention. Hogan Drane, second-grader from Petal, works with a piece of old machinery to create a new invention. Sophie Rose, first-grader from Oak Grove, creates her own mobile using a coat hanger. |
