NERDIES STEAM Summer Camps

About our camps: STEAM-based education for children is a major focus of our school systems, educators, parents, and local and federal government officials. Many of our local schools, however, don’t have the expertise or equipment to introduce children to STEAM concepts in a fun and interactive manner. NERDIES™ provides that expertise and equipment and inspires children to pursue careers in STEAM fields through educational play and hands-on learning.

Through our summer camp sessions, your young ones learn both hard and soft skills. They learn design concepts, industry standard animation & game development software, coding languages, and so much more. They also experience guided exposure to the creative process where they will be challenged to ask meaningful questions and apply what they have learned. Through thoughtful dialogue, regular collaboration, and active listening, NERDIES™ campers learn how to work as a team, how to communicate effectively, and how to activate the creative part of their brain.

Location of camps: Camps are conducted at a variety of locations, depending on the camp, including: Crystal Bridges, The New School, The Center for Nonprofits, Old High Middle School, The Jones Center, The Arkansas Arts Academy and The Teen Action & Support Center.
