About
Design Camp includes hands-on projects such as building with LEGO bricks, using LEGO Spike robotics, and three dimensional design and sculpture. Campers take part in activities like designing future cities, reimagining Atlanta’s neighborhoods, and using LEGO bricks to imagine neighborhoods, stadiums, scoreboards, equipment, mascots, and sports-inspired worlds. They also work on environmental design by prototyping green buildings and renewable energy systems, and they design and build bridges, roads, city systems, and creative, efficient transit systems using LEGO Spike robotics.
Campers explore transportation by looking at cars, trains, planes, subways, bike lanes, airports, bridges, and futuristic vehicles, and they build moving models using LEGO bricks and LEGO Spike robotics. They also explore murals, installations, and public art, create hands-on projects like murals and models, and design and build vibrant, inclusive play areas and joyful play zones using crafting materials. Some sessions introduce topics such as Entrepreneurship 101 and Intro to Architecture, and campers explore parks, splash pads, skateparks, playgrounds, and imaginative public spaces.
• Ages: 6–16 years old
Design Camp is offered by MODA (Museum of Design Atlanta), which was founded in 1989.
