CANTON, NY (07/30/2012)(readMedia)-- Creative Minds Make Discoveries at SUNY Canton's Camp Invention

SUNY Canton's first week of Camp Invention had students building model cities out of recycled materials.

Each group of students was given a piece of cardboard to design a portion of a city. When they were complete, the cardboard, Styrofoam and duct tape creations were interlocked to create an entire metropolis. Students augmented their creations with magnets, and electric components.

Other activities included an indoor hockey match using all homemade equipment.

The second week of Camp Invention runs until Friday August 3 in the Miller Campus Center.

SUNY Canton offers 23 career-driven bachelor's degrees in addition to its associate and certificate programs. In the past year, the College added two new bachelor's degrees and expanded its facilities with a new athletic center, nicknamed Roos House, and the Grasse River Suites Residence Hall. The College's faculty members are noted for their professional real-world experience in addition to their academic credentials. SUNY Canton OnLine features more than 190 courses online each semester and eight completely online academic programs. The College's athletic teams will begin their provisional year in NCAA Division III during the Fall 2012 Semester.
