Position overview
Design Camp is an annual series of pre-college summer programs offered at NC State University College of Design to high school and middle school students. Design Camp informs students about college study in design and raises awareness of the impact of design in all aspects of our everyday lives.
Having operated for over forty years, the Design Camp at NC State College of Design has provided the spark and fuel of inspiration for thousands of aspiring designers, including some who have gone on to national and international success in their field. Design Camp changes the lives of not only its campers but has proved to be a wonderful, life changing experience for hundreds of College of Design faculty, staff and students who have worked for the program over the years.
Design Camp students work with camp instructors and teaching assistants on projects involving disciplines offered at the college: Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, Industrial Design, Media Arts, Design and Technology, and Graphic and Experience Design.
Instructors develop studio projects in response to a different theme each year, challenging students to explore their creativity and critical- thinking skills while pushing them to try a range of techniques and media. In addition to studio projects, students will attend special presentations and participate in creative group challenges, hosted by Design Lab staff.
Primary Purpose of Position
