About this camp

This virtual camp empowers students to become digital artists and designers using Canva, a user-friendly graphic design platform. Participants will learn to create a variety of visual content, including graphic designs, videos, presentations, posters, flyers, and social media posts. The curriculum emphasizes practical application, guiding students through the process of uploading and searching for images and elements, exploring fonts and effects, and utilizing drag-and-drop functionalities to build their designs. A significant portion of the camp focuses on integrating generative AI tools like DALL-E 3, Adobe Firefly, and Runway ML. Students will learn to leverage AI for photo editing, generating unique art elements, creating imaginary places, game characters, cinematic movie clips, and storybook illustrations. The program aims to develop creativity, digital design confidence, and presentation skills, culminating in students building their own design portfolio in Canva.
