DICE - Spring 2021
Introduces students to the challenges of creative thinking and problem-solving through after school studio classes. Through design disciplines such as fashion design, animation and graphic design, and entrepreneurship, students create projects that reflect their lived experiences in their communities. While increasing youth voice and civic engagement, students also learn about educational opportunities and career possibilities in design.
DICE classes will be online this spring and delivered through live demonstrations, structured in-class work time, and one-on-one virtual instruction. The classes have been carefully designed for completion at home.
All supplies and tuition (except for the technology requirements) are covered for accepted students.
