Get the opportunity to work with different animation styles, both digitally and physically. Learn creative approaches on how animation is created and broken up. Not only will you gain hands-on experience with animation, but you will also learn about how animation started and where it is now with lessons in animation history.

Love science and engineering? If so, Keene State College’s “girls-only” STEM summer camp program is perfect for you!
Have fun and make friends as you immerse yourself in real-life science and engineering projects. Campers are mentored by Keene State and Keene High science and engineering faculty in KSC’s Sustainable Product Design and Innovation lab.
This year’s GoSTEM program will focus on the science of flotation and propulsion. We’ll build boats, explore the physics of fluids, dive into Javascript coding, guide Spheros through a Try-athalon, and demystify data science through hands-on activities.

CANCELLED - The Dramatic World of Live Theatre!
Regardless of whether you’re a seasoned thespian with a lengthy resume or emerging talent who has yet to trod the boards, come spend a week exploring the unique world of live theatre! Explore this collaborative art with others who share the same passion. During this week, we’ll explore the language of theatre, develop basic skills such as improv and pantomime, interact with scene partners and develop characters, block and direct scenes, and consider the use of tech elements. Students in this class will participate, interact, create, perform, observe, critique, collaborate, react, reflect, and so much more. While performance skills are the focus, there will also be time spent on other aspects of theatre such as design, directing, and production. July 10 - 14. Instructor: Beth Hansel.
