Camp Invention goes virtual

amp Invention, an innovative STEM nonprofit camp highlighting contributions from National Inventors Hall of Fame inductees, went virtual this year. In past years, it has been hosted by various Coweta County elementary schools; however, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the camp was held online this year. The virtual experience was hosted by Poplar Road Elementary School and directed by Stephen Simon, a Poplar Road REACH/gifted and advanced content teacher. Accompanying Simon as camp coaches were Alicia Porras, Poplar Road counselor, and Mary Thompson, Ruth Hill Elementary School REACH/gifted and advanced content teacher. This year, 46 campers participated in grades K-5. Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation awarded 13
campers scholarships for free tuition. Yamaha has been a longtime Coweta County community partner with Camp Invention, according to Thompson. Last year, Yamaha awarded scholarships, and employees visited the camp and shared some of their robotic experience and technology. This year’s scholarship recipients were from a wide range of elementary schools in Coweta. One Yamaha scholarship recipient, Chloe Duck – a second-grader at Ruth Hill Elementary School, said it was her first time ever attending a camp. She said she enjoyed the experience of inventing, creating and designing. Duck said her favorite part was experimenting and decorating with hot glue. When asked what her biggest takeaway from the experience was, Duck said, “Learning that your invention doesn’t have to be like everyone else's.” Camp Invention is a week-long experience with a different curriculum each year. This year’s curriculum included:
• •
•
•
•
Champions – campers designed and decorated their own sports complexes. Design Thinking Project – campers moved through the design process of a prototype, learning to identify, explore, sketch, prototype, protect and pitch, including learning how to patent and commercialize an idea. Rescue Squad – campers were given three eco-missions to complete for the day, using materials from a kit. Flight – campers learned the principles of flight, lift, weight, thrust and drag through experiments and two robots. One robot was used for the experiments and the PHOTO COURTESY MARY THOMPSON other was used to take apart Ann Marie Harlan designs a sports complex on Champions day. and study. As they took apart the robot, campers compared from the week and highlight and supplies that corresponded with its features to the principles of their favorite inventions with each day’s lesson.

ouise Garland celebrated her centennial birthday Wednesday, June 2 with family and friends from a distance. Garland is a resident at Brookdale Newnan, a senior living community. Brookdale currently isn’t allowing any visitors because of COVID-19. “So, we all had to get creative in her 100th birthday celebration,” Tinesha Burston, resident programs coordinator said. “Her family sent her a cake, flowers, balloons and cards. They were able to see her through the visitation window to sing ‘happy birthday’ to her.” Burston said Garland also had many friends and family who visited with her and talked to her. “She enjoyed coming out of her room to see her family on her birthday,” Burston said. Garland was born and raised in New Hampshire. She has three sons who still live there, two daughters who live in Virginia and a daughter and son-in-law who live
in Newnan. She has many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, as well as two living brothers. During World War II, she wrote to a boy that lived in the next town. When he got back home from the war, they got married in about a month. He went to work at an insurance company, while she stayed home with six kids. When the youngest was in kindergarten they moved to Vermont, where they started working at their own insurance and real estate agency. In 1977, the couple semi-retired and moved to Florida. They worked part time in the winter and spent the summer traveling in their motorhome. After her husband passed, Garland remained in Florida for about 10 years before relocating to Newnan to be near her daughter. Garland said she enjoys participating in a variety of group activities at Brookdale, but unfortunately has not been able to do as much lately because of COVID-19.

ing tape, pencil, markers, modeling clay, string, scissors, muffin tin liners, feathers, straws, clothespins, ruler, graphing paper, tracing paper, LED’s, daily guides, inventor’s log, stickers, paper airplane templates and robots. Campers met through Google Meet three times a day. Each morning, they logged online for the presentation and assignments for the day, led by their coaches. Within the daily presentation, campers were encouraged to go outside to gain inspiration or to try out their inventions. In the afternoon, they met again for checkins, questions and share time. Camper Ann Marie Harlan, a fifth grader at Northside Elementary School, has attended the in-person camps in the past, and she took part in this year’s online version. “I prefer the online camp because there aren’t as many people, we don’t have to share supplies so you have more freedom, and you have more time,” Harlan said. “It also makes you think because you have to use what you have, and sometimes what you have is not always as much as you need.” Jaxen Porter, a rising fourth grader at Ruth Hill Elementary School and a Yamaha scholarship recipient, said his favorite part of virtual camp was getting to see his teacher and his classmates. He said he enjoyed building robots along with learning new things, and if given the
choice between in-person or virtual camp, he said he would choose virtual. Campers Garres and Warren Bugden, both from Trinity Christian School, said their biggest takeaway from this year’s virtual camp experience was that it was still fun to do at home. Thompson said it was a valuable experience for her to teach online. She said it was another avenue of technology that she could experiment with and get comfortable with. “I feel more comfortable leading a lesson online since taking part in the virtual camp experience this year,” she said. Thompson said she was concerned at first that she wouldn’t feel a connection with the students virtually as much as she does in person. However, she said that even though they met virtually, she still made a connection with each camper and could feel the excitement as they were actively engaged in the exploration and invention process. Simon said Poplar Road's Camp Invention has been a success each year because of the continuous support of its partners. He said he was thankful for Leslie Goodwin, principal at Poplar Road Elementary, for allowing facilitation of the camp physically – and this year, virtually. Simon said he was also thankful for Porras and Thompson, who served as instructors for the campers during the week itself, and for local business partners like Yamaha that enhanced the camp experience and made it available to all through their generosity. “Together, we work with campers to embrace creative thinking and be the problem-solvers,” Simon said.
