"Based on feedback from the
country's finest school districts,
Camp Invention has earned a rep-
utation as a leader in high-quality
summer programming. This has
helped the organization grow to
a national program serving over
77,000 children," explains Michael
J. Oister, Chief Operating Officer
for Invent Now. "Parents tell us
Camp Invention improves their
child's outlook on learning and
increases their chUd's interest in

Elementary
Tech Club begins
Middle School Science Fair
becomes virtual
Amber Bridge
Middle School Science
In the past, I have hosted an evening science fair at the middle
school to celebrate science achievements of my students. This
year, I'd like to collaborate with others and open the doors past the
walis of my school building. I am inviting people in virtually to
view the top scoring eighth grade science projects to help us decide
on a winner! Those who would like to participate will be asked to
view and evaluate student science fair projects - seen in a short
(2:30 minute max) video the students created to explain their proj-
ect & complete a short evaluation form for each video.
Let's break it down:
Who: Anyone who is interested in student science fair projects,
could be people working in the science field, people who are pas-
sionate about science, teachers, or even students at other schools
What: review up to 10 videos created by students explaIning the
project they explored and complete a short evaluation form for
each video during a two-week period
Where: At your home! The videos will be posted on an online
site that I will give you access to and I will email you the evalua-
tion form. So, you can do all of the work from the convenience of
your home.
Why Would I Do This? To help give students an outside per-
spective on their projects that they have created and encourage stu-
dents who participate in science inquiry!
How Do I Participate? If you would like to participate, please
just send an email to Amber Bridge (abridge@mid-prairie.k12.
ia.us) telling me your name and location and if you are a teacher
who wants your class to participate - what age group will be par-
ticipating.
The videos will be posted online April 14- 26th I would ask you
view the projects during this two-week window and complete evalu-
ation forms by April 26th.
