Participants in grades 7 - 9 will be introduced to the engineering design process while learning basic science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) concepts like simple machines, electric circuits, programming, computational thinking, music, and storytelling. The project-based approach will emphasize problem identification, brainstorming, problem-solving, rapid prototyping, teamwork, and communication.

School of Art Summer Camp- Interested in art, nature, and science? Grab your watercolors and lab coat as we examine specimens at the Life Sciences Collections at ASU. Learn about and take a closer look at animals, botanicals, shells, insects, and more under the microscope! As we explore, you’ll create watercolor paintings and drawings based on your visual research. Make it abstract or paint exactly what you see! This is your time to be creative and investigate a magical microscopic world you never knew existed.
School of Art Summer Camp- Go beyond pencil and ink to create with lasers! Mixing the traditional techniques of relief and intaglio printmaking with modern day technology, you will bring both worlds together and learn how to laser engrave wood blocks and plexiglass to create your own series of prints.
School of Art Summer Camp- Make a mini-series about animals or an animated short about the galaxy– all while using materials that you create yourself! Stop Motion Animation is a highly-detailed animation process that uses up to 40 photos per second to create seamless videos. Participants will work individually or collaboratively as they create storyboards and construct, shoot, and edit a short video using various materials such as clay, construction paper, and small objects. Using the industry-grade technology available at the School of Art, students will meld and edit photos into a video.
School of Art Summer Camp- Add some flair to your backpack or t-shirts, print your own logos on a tote bag, or create your own prints to hang up at home! In this screenprinting camp, you'll practice the printing and layering processes with transparencies and stencils as you incorporate techniques of drawing, tracing, detailed cutting, composition, and found object exposure. Water-based inks in a variety of colors will be mixed for printing. Students will take home their creations, as well as their own School of Art tote bag.
School of Art Summer Camp- Are you comfortable with sewing machine basics and looking for a way to move beyond the fundamentals? This five-day camp is perfect for students who are looking to further develop their skills in the areas of creation, illustration, and construction. After selecting two to three individualized projects to focus on, students will bring their designs to life using the industry-grade sewing machines in our brand-new Fusion on First fashion studios. Want to learn how to pattern a coat? Sew pockets? Experiment with different fabrics? This is the place to do it!
School of Art Summer Camp- Concept, design, pattern and construct your own tote bag, complete with an interior zipper pocket and personalized leather charm! In this five-day camp, you’ll learn the fundamentals of fashion design—including ideation, research, moodboard creation, sketching, patterning and construction—while using the industrial sewing machines in the brand-new Fusion on First fashion studios. Add functionality through a zipper workshop and learn to work with other materials in our leathercraft workshop!
School of Art Summer Camp- Explore Tempe with a photographer’s eye! In this camp, you will arrange scenes and capture moments across ASU’s campus as you practice the full photographic process, from composition to editing to series sequencing. Each student will receive valuable 1-on-1 feedback based on their individual needs and will be able to collaborate with peers on the creation of photographic projects. At the end of camp, every participant will select their favorite shots of the week to create a class photobook!
School of Art Summer Camp- Bring an artistic vision to life through the exploration of ceramic hand building, throwing, and surface design! In this camp, you’ll create imaginative ceramic forms and apply various design methods using underglaze, painting, and carving techniques. In addition, you’ll experiment with the pottery wheel to shape your own vases, dishware, and more. After learning about the full pottery process, you’ll select pieces to be fired, which will be available for pick up after the camp's conclusion.
