2017 Summer Digital Arts Camp
SDAW’s 2017 Summer Digital Arts Camp is a STEAM based camp experience individualized to a child’s creative interests. At Digital Arts Camp, we teach and use computers to make art – kids can animate a story, create a music video, design an app, build their a personal website or just about any creative endeavor their imagination, the technology and our team can support. Our approach combines both practical “workplace” skills such as learning software, languages and programs with artistic exploration.
