Summer 2024


The Summer Design Lab is a FREE one week arts integrated STEAM summer camp. We will serve 18-20 students per session who were entering 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade and were enrolled in the Fond du Lac School District for the 2023-2025 school year.

The goals of The Design Lab are to develop our community's capacity to create and sustain high-quality, engaging, and equitable STEAM programs for underrepresented students with the long term goal being to close the opportunity gap in our community and build arts integrated educational pathways for a more creative and diverse workforce. We'll work with educators and students on self and social awareness and through design thinking.
