This summer, 25 high schoolers from across the Portland Metro region will spend four weeks learning critical skills in invention, engineering and entrepreneurship to address needs in their communities and beyond. Due to the impact of COVID-19, this year, the camp was conducted in a 100% online format. Students spend 4 weeks learning and building remotely under the guidance of Portland State University's Maseeh College of Engineering Faculty and Mentors, as well as local industry experts. The culmination of Invention Bootcamp is our bright, young inventors presenting their inventions inspired by this year's theme, "Living in COVID Times."
