Art, Design, and Technology
Explore the intersection of art, design, and technology through hands-on projects at Stanford University.
▌ Editor's read The Stanford University Summer Institutes website loads successfully, detailing pre-collegiate programs for high school students. While there isn't a specific Google review rating for 'Art, Design, and Technology' as a standalone camp, Stanford University generally holds a high reputation. The program is not accredited by the ACA. The website indicates that all Stanford Summer Session staff who work with minors undergo background checks. The program is an overnight academic program, owned and operated by Stanford University. Social media handles found are @stanfordspcs on Instagram and StanfordSPCS on Facebook. The Art, Design, and Technology program offers courses like 'Introduction to Design Thinking' and 'Digital Art and Animation,' providing a university-level academic experience for high school students.
Who thrives here Ages 14–17
Art, Design, and Technology serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in academic, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
