Module 1, Wild Blue Yonder: Under top secret assignment, craft your own vehicle to safely deliver secret documents to the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Module 2, Tape Me to Your Leader: Talk to aliens who have landed on Earth. Using tons of tape, you will create a command center that will put you in touch with these unusual visitors. Module 3, Solve It - The Missing Inventors Log: Recreate the crime scene by building a model home. Become a detective as you investigate clues to solve this exciting mystery. Module 4, I Can Invent: The signature activity of Camp Invention where campers use tools to take apart appliances and invent something totally new.
