Design Something New this Summer with Thinnox Design & Technology Camps

Design something new this summer: an animated short movie, a brand new video game; a digital recording of your band's masterpiece; a short video film; a portfolio of graphic images; an illustrated book. 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 22 and August 28 are primarily for creative individuals in age categories: 10 to 14 and 15-18. However, we also have some specialized programs for creative 6-9 year olds. Take a look at the calendar and pick the program that's right for you.

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. Friendly and knowledgeable instructors make sure your program goals are achieved; you work and have fun. In short, we guarantee an experience that will last you through the entire year, if not your entire lifetime.

In the digital Storytelling program, kids learn about the art of telling their 'story' using multi-media technology. Digital storytelling is like an autobiographical 'mini movie' which kids will create and edit - using computer software, digital camcorders & cameras, and still photographs. Kids will use voice overs, digital film and music editing software to create a digital story that reflects their special and unique life.


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.

At the end of the program, each child receives a DVD of the week's highlights and a certificate of completion. All necessary equipment is supplied by digiKidz®. Students will be asked to bring in small props/toys as part of their projects during the course of the session.
