Mosaic Life Care hosts camp for young inventors

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- This week marks the beginning of Camp Invention, hosted by the Mosaic Life Care Foundation at emPowerU.

Children from Kindergarten through 6th grade have come together to explore exciting STEM-based curriculum in a fun and engaging environment.

The National Inventors Hall of Fame partners with organizations across the United States to bring programs like Camp Invention to local communities.

With over 1,500 camps held nationwide, the organization is dedicated to honoring great inventors, promoting creativity and advancing a spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Camp Invention provides students with the opportunity to imagine, experiment and build through a variety of hands-on projects and collaborative activities.

Devron Brower, the director of emPowerU programs, said, "This camp will highlight the ability to be creative, and for students to dream and create things they never thought."

Each day is filled with dynamic STEM adventures that keep kids active, engaged and inspired to explore the world of science and technology.

Joel, a future third grader, expressed excitement about learning how to build a claw for a vending machine.

"I love it- I'm going to go to the purple room...," said Joel.

Each colored room at emPowerU is broken up into different hands-on activities.

Joel expressed excitement for returning to camp next year.

The Mosaic Life Care Foundation and emPowerU plan on holding this event again next year. Even though it is too late to sign up for this week's camp, emPowerU is hosting another STEM-based camp in the weeks ahead.
