Digital Day Camp

An artist-led program that annually engages Eyebeam alumni as instructors, Digital Day Camp is a six-week summer program introducing young people ages 14-18 to creative coding and digital art practices. Through workshops, participants learn to use various software and hardware tools to create interactive projects. The program culminates in a showcase event where participants present their projects to an audience of peers, family, and community members. Digital Day Camp challenges youth to apply creative thinking strategies across various tools and topics to develop critical, empowering, and long-lasting relationships with technology and their role in it as agents of change.

Every educational initiative is core to the furtherance of Eyebeam's mission. We believe in the following: Openness: Eyebeam is committed to making complex technologies understandable to the public and to make both programs and artists’ work accessible to diverse audiences. 

Invention: Eyebeam encourages participating artists to engage in experimentation and to imagine and realize their aspirations. 

Justice: Eyebeam acknowledges that both the art world and technology realm are inequitable environments for marginalized communities and our organization believes all people are deserving of full recognition for their inherent worth and dignity, at all times. Access: To teach fundamental technology concepts by pairing minimal materials with maximum impact.
