Admission Resize text From the wheel to electricity—or the cutting–board bird feeder to the Dogbrella—there are countless amazing inventions, many of which have changed the world. Campers explore Smithsonian museums to discover the works of artists, inventors, and scientists who have created the many things we use every day and make our lives easier. Trips to the American History Museum and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's National Inventors Hall of Fame inspire campers as they create and market their own inventions. The week concludes with the campers’ own Invention Expo!
