Camp Invention

Brennan showing us his addition to the Green Group Collage. (It's a little boy recycling!)
Brennan couldn't just make a robot for himself- he made sure that he made a robot for Dylan and Nolan too! His teacher thought it was very sweet of him to do!
In the M.A.R.S. class, they designed houses to live on mars and cars to drive there. This is Brennan's Mars Rover- Notice the ball/catapult on the top (he has to be able to protect himself from Martians!)
I think that Brennan was the most proud of this invention: The chopper canister is a bug-catching machine and the sprite bottle (along with various other parts) is the bug feeder. Such a great imagination!




This week, while in Little Rock, Brennan went to Camp Invention. I thought that it would be a great thing for him to experience- I know that when I taught at it, it was so much fun for the kids. The first day, he was a little nervous about going because he didn't know anyone, but when I picked him up, he seemed to have gotten past his moment of shyness. The next morning, we didn't need to be there as early, so I didn't wake Brennan when I got up. About 15 minutes later, he came in and started scolding me for not getting him up because I didn't want him to go to camp and have fun- if he only knew! Each day was so much fun and he would tell me or dad or Gigi about everything he did.

Today was the showcase for what they've made in class. Brennan made 3 robots, a MARS house, a Mars Rover, a bug catcher and feeder, filters and a clean city. We came home with a lot! I know that Brennan enjoyed it and if we can find one in Tennessee, he'll go again next year.
