Staff is requesting to purchase the National Inventors Hall of Fame (https://www.invent.org) modules to support and enrich the 21 CARES Expanded Learning Prrogram TK-8 schools. CARES has been using these research based, hands-on, engaging, and problem based learning modules within the after school, intersession, and summer programs since 2017. The modules will be implemented one to two times a week at the 21 ( CARES 18 elementary and 3 middle school sites) and include; 7, Pod Pals and Zoom (TK-1), Lost Treasure and Robotic Pet Vet (2/3), Innovation Force and Champions (4/5), Fly Gliders and Wear It Out (6/8). All modules are aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and empower students to collaborate, create, gain confidence and practice divergent thinking with the acclaimed summer enrichment program that has reached children nationwide for more than 30 years. Based on credible research and directly informed by world-changing inventors, Camp Invention® provides a new, tested program each year. Their engaging, hands-on modules are designed to meet the needs of TK-8 students, helping develop the Innovation Mindset — a growth mindset that instills essential skills for any area of life.
