This week-long camp focuses on the rapidly-growing field of User Experience (UX). UX designers and UX researchers make products more enjoyable and make technology easier to use. They work on everything from websites and apps (think Snapchat) to voice assistants (think Amazon Alexa) and physical products, like game controllers and power drills. Your camp instructors are faculty who work directly in the field of UX design.  Join us for a week of engaging hands-on design projects you can take home, add to your high school portfolio, and share with your family and friends on social media.
