2018 Summer Camps
Our 2018 Summer Camps were a huge success! Check out some of our favorite moments below:
STEM Camp
Hosted by the Robotics & Manufacturing department, campers experienced 3D printing, electronics, code writing, CAD modeling, manufacturing, and more! Campers also took an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of Boston Scientific, the camp’s sponsor.
Power Girls
Hosted at Girl Scouts River Valleys, campers practiced hands-on construction and welding and perfected their DIY skills. Dunwoody women also helped campers build two Tiny Houses.
Discover Interior Design
Hosted by Dunwoody’s Interior Design department and RSP Architects, campers studied color, materials, architectural drawing, and digital media with professional designers. Campers also visited design firms and beautiful spaces throughout the Twin Cities.
Arts-n-Crafts, Robots & Computing Camp
Hosted by Dunwoody’s Computer Technology department, campers learned the basics of computing through arts and crafts projects. Students built and programed robots with LEGO Mindstorms®, learned about Artbotics, and programed with Scratch and other tools.
Youth Career Awareness Program (YCAP) College Prep Summer Camp
YCAP Summer Campers explored career paths, took college-readiness courses, went on field trips, visited job sites, and interacted directly with industry partners. Several campers will be attending Dunwoody this fall.
