Field Trips, Design, Media and Fun!

For youth that are curious about digital media- Ethos Lab’s March Break Digital Media Studio is a unique introductory program that immerses participants in the worlds of storytelling and emerging technologies. Over the course of the week youth are introduced to the basics of the Unity game engine and Rive.app, focusing on interactive media and digital storytelling. Participants will explore pathways to post-secondary education and careers in tech through engaging workshops and field trips to Digital Media Studios.

The program emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and hands-on learning, culminating in a unique interactive project co-created by participants.

No coding or design experience required.

Lunch is provided for the duration of the camp.

Our immersive 1 week camp takes youth in grades 5 – 7 on a journey to FIRST learn about nature, living organisms, sustainability and THEN channel their learning into creating their own nature inspired inventions. Participants will explore our natural world, experiment with sustainable technologies such as Solar Farms, and engage in conversations around eco friendliness and biodiversity. Could nature be the ultimate source for innovation?? In OUR program, youth will find out exactly that. The main goal with our program is to nurture participants’ wonder and curiosity about the natural world and help them harness it into their own creations.
