Whatever your dreams are - to be a film maker, musician, designer or inventor, remember, everything has a little bit of Design to it.

Thinnox Summer Design Camps are between 2 to 4 weeks duration. The programs offered between June 21 and August 27 are primarily for creative individuals in age categories: 10 to 14 and 15-18.

The typical camp day starts at 9:00 am and ends at 4:30 pm. During the camp day, besides formal instruction in a chosen area, campers are involved in organized team activities through the day that is sure to test their imagination, creativity, reflexes, team spirit and organizational skills. All programs are well rounded and include elements of graphic design, sound design and visual arts. Some programs also come with an introduction to the world of computers.

Thinnox Summer Design Camps are a unique combo of fun and serious creativity. Our class sizes are restricted to just 6 participants.

In the digiKidz LEGO® Robotics program, kids build and program a robot to execute a number of tasks. They teach their robot to navigate a maze, conquer challenges, and be the first team to complete assigned missions. A series of challenges will hone their collaboration, programming, inventiveness, and strategic skills.

For all programs, while working as a team- member on group projects, children will take on different roles and responsibilities based on their interest, skill level and talents.
