Summer 2013 Youth Programs in the Arts:
 New! Young App Creators and Designers

Grades 4–8

Typical Day

Discover the world of phone-based and tablet applications and create your first mobile game app. In addition to learning the basics of mobile app design and games, you will also see firsthand how the world of apps publishing functions.

• Student-created game apps will be available on a password-protected Black Rocket website to share with friends and family. They can be played on any mobile device or computer with Internet access.

To broaden exposure to the arts, the Young App Creators and Designers can be combined with Young Video Game Creators and Animators (new!), the Songwriting Workshop, Creative Vocal Lab, Youth Musical Theatre, Young Artists, Young Chess Masters (new!), Creating Comic Books, Young Actors, Young Photographers, and/or Young Writers to make for a well-rounded summer experience.
