Summer Camp Scholarships
Access to high-quality, immersive, and transformative summer learning.
We eliminate the $600 financial barrier to entry, ensuring K-12 students receive a life-changing week of hands-on design experience. We partner exclusively with local camp providers that have established and proven curricula. This ensures your donation supports rigorous, high-quality programs that deliver on emerging design and technology skills.
Students explore future career paths through a program of their choice focused on topics related to 2D animation, filmmaking, music production, coding, or game development.
Technology Awards
Removing technology barriers so creative learning continues at home.
We believe access to technology should not be a barrier to education. Every scholarship recipient will be screened for a technology award if they lack access to a personal device. This $400 award provides an iPad or computer, ensuring they can continue practicing and building essential skills year-round.
Your funding ensures that the learning doesn’t stop when camp ends, enabling continuous skill refinement, project building, and sustained engagement with creative arts. Your gift enables sustained engagement and long-term confidence.
On-Demand Project Kits
Sustaining creativity beyond the summer with engaging, project-based resources.
We partner with experienced instructional designers and domain experts to deliver high-quality, on-demand project kits. These curated digital resources and tutorials establish continuity, allowing students to deepen their skills and creative practice at their own pace.
The kits are designed to translate camp concepts into real-world projects, fostering the self-directed learning crucial for future success in creative fields. This ensures the impact of their camp experience extends far into the school year, promoting life-long learning.
Your investment starts here. Help us launch the next generation of Texas innovators.
