Whether you currently teach digital processes, hope to do so in the future, or simply want to explore the creative process of working in new technologies, this three-week intensive course will expand your creative toolbox.
Join the Department of Art and Design from July 11th to 29th to explore your own creative process while gaining knowledge in Project-Based Learning and Maker Education.

Students will experiment with designing projects for the laser cutter, 3D printer, incorporating electronics and soft circuitry into their designs, as well as testing out a variety of fabrication tools.
The course will combine lectures, discussion, and a maker lab. Our focus is on how to create through technologies and translate that process into valuable opportunities and cross-disciplinary applications.
