Campers explore the intersection of science, engineering, and art through hands-on design challenges and the use of both traditional and high-tech making techniques, inspired by the museum's art collection.
The Dallas Museum of Art's Summer Camp: Maker Lab offers students ages 9-12 a hands-on exploration of the intersection between science, engineering, and art. Campers engage in solving design challenges inspired by artworks, utilizing a variety of making techniques from low-tech to high-tech. Activities include working with a laser cutter, leather, and circuits to bring their creative ideas to life. The program encourages tinkering, experimenting, and designing in the studio, fostering skills in creative problem-solving and artistic expression. Participants will create at least one project per day, or work on a more involved project throughout the week, taking home all their artwork on the last day.
Each day, campers spend time in the galleries looking at art from around the world, then take their ideas to the studio to create their own masterpieces using various techniques and materials.
This camp is ideal for children who enjoy tinkering, experimenting, and making, and are interested in exploring the connections between science, engineering, and art.
