Students Were Creative During Summer Vacation

Commonwealth Elementary School students were able to utilize their creative skills over the summer as they became inventors of fantasy creatures, games, and other items through a week-long enrichment program called Camp Invention. The program promotes life-skills such as problem-solving and teamwork through hands-on creativity and is geared for students entering grades 1-6. One of the most popular stations for students was “I Can Invent III,” which allowed them to break apart machines to see how gears, magnets and other components work inside.
Students then used those items and other recycled material to produce a new invention that created a chemical reaction when completed.
