Fidget Camp is co-created by the community and workshops are run by our campers! We want to know about a special thing you do that you'd be excited to teach. Some past workshops include: mischief 101, weaving, cake decorating, and making voice-activated chatbots. Note: we won't be able to host every workshop.
Workshop hosts will get a $50 stipend for materials.
e.g. "Glowy Origami" or "Intro to Laser Holograms" or "Natural Dyes & Blockprinting"
Write a short workshop description.
What would participants learn and what would they make? Here's some past examples:
"Come learn how to make Senko Hanabi, a japanese sparkler that produces branching sparks. We'll try out a few varieties of charcoal in our compositions and see how this impacts the sparking effects!"
"We'll draw/sculpt monsters and use Adobe Character Animator and After Effects to bring them to life! (Then put them on the dating scene)"
"We're going to trap a 3D object into a 2D glass plate! Using the ancient technique of reflection holography, a laser and photographic plate is all that's needed to make a virtual copy of a real object, a flat plate that appears to have real depth."

We try to keep cost as low as possible. 100% of registration fees directly fund Fidget Camp. This is to cover some materials and event logistics costs. It does not cover meals or any travel / living costs. We understand some folks may have financial barriers, and we will have a limited number of registration fee waivers available.
Set a 1 minute timer and draw something impulsive.
