Day 4 was full of creativity! Finalizing our pulley or fan powered cars, building monuments that represent our ducks home, and even creating inventions to help our crickets get over puddles. @CampInvention is almost a wrap! @d_alphson @CokrausLisa

Learning about trajectory and velocity in Duck Chuck today. Not only did campers launch ducks and try to land them in a pond, but they also got to launch water balloons at their instructor @d_alphson! 🐥 @CampInvention

Went to check on the loud noises I was hearing, not to worry, just students at Duck Chuck testing out their air cannons! @CampInvention @d_alphson
