THE DMA EXPERIENCE

Founded in 2002 by technology educators from Stanford University, and led by former Stanford educators and interactive education and entertainment creators from Apple and Walt Disney Studios - Digital Media Academy delivers a world-class digital learning experience.

Learn video game design, iPhone and iPad App development, Google Android app development, robotics, computer programming using Java or C+++, digital filmmaking, digital photography, website design, 3D modeling, animation and so much more.

Beginning to advanced student campers age 6-18 learn by doing with hands-on instruction from industry professionals, with real-world experience. DMA builds and develops STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills - many of DMA’s instructors have literally written the book on the subject that they teach. DMA Alumni include television and music producers, filmmakers, professional photographers as well as game and app developers.

At DMA, students experience life on the campus of a prestigious American university like Stanford, Harvard or UCLA (just to name a few) while making friends and learning with others who share the same interests. Small class sizes (8:1 max) guarantee a personalized experience. Students work on their own personal project in every class.*

*DMA Studios are a group based project learning experience.

BIMA at Brandeis University is the first residential summer arts institute of its kind for high school students to advance their artistic interests and skills within a Jewish context. BIMA offers an intensive arts opportunity for young people. The program runs from July 2-30 at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, just 9 miles west of Boston. BIMA cultivates a vibrant, pluralistic environment for participants to develop artistic skills, to deepen their Jewish knowledge, and to ask questions about the intersection of their identity as Jews and young people committed to the arts.

Our program is geared towards teenagers (currently in grades 9-11) who are dedicated to the arts and interested in Jewish life.

BIMA participants will enjoy:

-advancing their skills in chamber ensemble, jazz, and choral music, painting, creative writing, and acting with professional artists.

-attending world-class cultural events in Boston and the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts.

-focusing on their artistic development, finding new ways to engage Jewish life, and discovering the points where these two passions intersect.


Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. For more information about BIMA, please call (781) 736-8417, or email bima@brandeis.edu.
