Making Learning Fun

ID Tech Camps offer award-winning summer technology programs at top universities in the U.S, where kids can gain skills that last long after summer camp ends.

In response to the concern of low numbers of girls involved in STEM,  ID Tech Camps is introducing a brand new course that combines hot industry software with digital media design concepts: Graphic Design for Advertising.  This course targets students ages 10 to 17.

A 2010 study by the American Association of University Women researched the factors that contribute to this imbalance, and chief among them are (1) girls’ low self-assessment of their STEM aptitude, and (2) a lack of engaging STEM coursework at a young age.  The new ID Tech Camps course addresses both issues, encouraging students to branch out and develop core technology skills while showing them the hands-on, real-life applications of their skills.   Designed to appeal to all creative types, the Graphic Design for Advertising curriculum explores the inventive side of technology and reveals the artistic applications of STEM skills.
