Overview
Discover, Invent, Build. Summer Starts at The Bakken. Campers design, build, and show their inventions during summer camps at The Bakken Museum. In addition, campers will practice creative thinking skills, learn magic tricks, play games, and explore science, math, technology, and engineering in a fun, engaging environment.
Every Session:
* Students learn to responsibly use tools and technology
* Students spend time outdoors during break
* Bakken educators, camp counselors, and volunteers provide guidance and room for failure
* Students learn to share their challenges and celebrate successes
* Campers go home with a project of their own design
* Students benefit from a low student-to-staff ratio (6:1, or better)
Cost: $250, $225 for members of The Bakken Museum. Campers entering grades 2 and 3 are invited to participate in a special half-day camp for aspiring makers and inventors. Get practice using some basic tools and learn the Bakken Museum's invention process while designing and building a unique take-home project.
