 call the camp &ldquo\;a haven for makers.&rdquo\;\n\nSays Beam Co-Director
  Danny Kahn: &ldquo\;The relationship between the brilliant makers and the
  totally engaged and tuned-in kids is incredible. What they learn from wor

 eam.&rdquo\;\n\nAt Inventgenuity\, girls and boys aged 7-16 and their pare
 nts will make amazing things happen with electricity\, gravity\, wood\, fo
 od and other materials and join in creating a signature Beam Camp Project.

 science of perpetual motion with Kinetic Artist Joseph Herscher as they co
