Camp Invention

Last week Camp Invention was held in the Religious Education building. Inventors would sign a time card when they began their work -- just like the workers in Thomas Edison's shop.

There was brainstorming at Inspiration Point
as inventors would design amusment rides.

They built roller coasters.

The inventors were called upon to save Sludge City.
Here they first designed a more econ friendly city ...

 ... then they built it ...

 ... complete with St. Columbkille church.

The inventors also realized the joys (and frustrations)
that real inventors face during the process
of creating totally new inventions.

 
During the week, inventors worked in teams to create
multi-step inventions using pieces and parts of broken
appliances and other upcycled materials.


On Friday they were able to show their
families everything they had created.

Well done inventors!!
