Creative Coding
A beginner-friendly program, Creative Coding is perfect for youth who wonder how things work; using web-based platforms, we will learn the basics of JavaScript step-by-step to create mini games, animated graphics, interactive artwork, and more!
Digital Painting
Students will draw, paint, and create on iPads using Procreate. They’ll play with colors, brushes, and layers to make bold and fun digital artwork. This class is all about creativity, imagination, and having fun while making art.
3D Design Studio
In this program, students will use Blender and Tinkercad to design their own 3D creations, transforming their ideas into digital models. They’ll then bring those designs into the real world through 3D printing. No experience needed- just creativity and curiosity!
