The camp is a program of the Nation Inventors Hall of Fame, in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Campers learn about the importance of intellectual property. They also explore and design, and take part in hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Each year, the camp features a new curriculum, which is inspired by inventors hall of fame inductees. At the end of the weeklong program, each camper took home a robot.
