Week 2: Peer Projects and Tinkering
July 1 to July 3 (No camp on July 4th or 5th)
Instructor: Alba Cardenas
This week focuses on learning from others, then exploring what was learned through tinkering. During Focused Learning, previous campers will have the opportunity to lead visual arts projects they created. We will also have Guest Artists/Arts Educators doing fun and engaging activities with the campers. Campers will have the opportunity to design and create their own projects during Tinker time.
