Curriculum Overview

None of our curriculum require prior coding knowledge. Campers of any technical skill level are welcome to apply.

Design Thinking & Entrepreneurship

Students learn and practice design thinking and design tools daily, then work in small groups that will be their mini startup team. We introduce various tools used in the industry for UI/UX design (such as Figma), project management and strategy, and more. Students learn business basics, core entrepreneurship skills, and think big to solve global problems, going from startup idea to concept.
