Students from throughout Levittown Public Schools flexed their creative thinking and engineering skills this summer at Camp Invention and STEM Camp held at Wisdom Lane Middle School.

Students gathered in classrooms and hallways to partake in several exciting initiatives that helped to keep their skills sharp between school years. One hallway became a battleground for different STEM Camp teams to compete with their customized, hand-controlled robots. The teams equipped their motorized companions with the tools needed to complete different tasks, such as “hands” that can grab and stack blocks. Throughout the program, students also used their STEM skills to create tools that would help them overcome unique obstacles.

Camp Invention challenges students to let their imaginations run wild. Working together, students entering third, fourth and fifth grades faced tasks that required solutions with an engineering angle. Concluding their two-week Camp Invention adventure, students crafted vehicles that rolled on wheels, instruments with versatile range and mini skate parks complete with ramps. Showing off their entrepreneurial skills, students also opened shop with their dream business built in small-scale from the ground up.
Campers had a great time forming teams and completing obstacles that were set up by older student volunteers.
Campers also wrapped up the fun with an outdoor obstacle ring established by their peer volunteers, which totaled 41 students. Teams cooled off from the summer sun with water obstacles before crawling and jumping through hoops and making a soccer goal against a goalie.
