Inviting all 2nd – 5th graders to participate in Dare 2 Design, a fun program for young minds full of ideas. Discover cool innovations, work with scientists, make new friends, and build innovative models that solve everyday problems we all face.
Dare 2 Design is a program for 2nd – 5th graders to develop an innovative mindset. The students will work to solve a problem they face regularly. This fun, hands-on camp teaches problem-solving, collaboration, and the process of innovation by pairing campers with university professionals with patenting knowledge and experience. A rigorously tested 8-step process makes it a fun and productive experience where kids engage in understanding, breaking, and making, not just watching! Want to see projects in action?
