Open World by DigiPen provides fun, hands-on, high-quality K-12 experiences in the STEAM fields of the future.<\/h2>

DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, Washington has educated students of all ages for over 30 years, and we\u2019ve applied this experience to develop engaging summer workshops where every student can learn and be inspired, cared for, and seen.<\/p>

Open World isn\u2019t your standard day camp experience. Our goal is to help students develop tangible skills in fields like computer science, game design, music, and art, but we also want to inspire them to be curious about the world around them. Students are their own best teachers when they discover a passion worth pursuing.

How do we achieve this balance of fun, inspiration, and education? It comes from our people, curriculum, and philosophy.<\/b><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
