Camp Architecture and Design (CAD) is a one-week program that introduces elementary school-age children grades 3-8 to the world of design. Students will participate in daily activities, including a series of engaging hands-on projects, presentations, and tours. CAD is led by fun and energetic directors, who have previous experience working with youths. Directors are assisted by a team of talented counselors, who are currently enrolled in a partnering higher educational program.
2023 Theme: ROBLOX
This year’s camp architecture will be inspired by the world of Roblox. What is Roblox? Roblox is an app that allows users to play a wide variety of games and create games within the “ultimate virtual universe”. Expanding upon the creative nature of the app, the summer program will be engaging and promote ideation across various activities! Bridging the virtual and real world, a field trip will be scheduled where students can observe and analyze real-life examples of architecture and design that can be used to inform their design ideas.
Combining architectural and engineering principles, the camp will include a mix of design challenges, construction projects, and interactive activities building upon Roblox inspired gaming platforms. This hands-on approach to learning can help to reinforce key concepts and encourage students to explore their own creativity and design ideas.
The camp will also feature opportunities for collaboration and teamwork, where students can work together to design and build projects. The students will be encouraged to share their ideas and perspectives, work together to solve design challenges, and build on each other’s strengths.
Overall, camp architecture will provide a unique and fun learning experience that allows students to explore their creativity, discover new interests, and develop their own design and building skills in a supportive and engaging environment.
