https://itp.nyu.edu/camp2020/ $1500 ITP Camp is a 4 week crash course/playground for creative and techy people who want to shake things up. Every June, we invite non-student makers, artists, musicians, programmers, fabricators, and creatives of all sorts, to come to ITP to make stuff, hear speakers on the cutting edge, collaborate with people from diverse disciplines. Camp activities and events on the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. ITP is open to Campers everyday from 10am to 10pm for the entire duration of Camp. Some people take the month off and immerse themselves fully in the culture and experience of ITP. Others freelance or work remotely part time while attending sessions in between. And many of our NYC-based participants maintain day jobs outside of ITP Camp and join us for the evening activities. ITP was founded and is grounded in the belief that making is fundamental to thinking. Like any summer camp, the atmosphere is playful, cooperative and collaborative but there’s a serious purpose. We’re looking for people who are seriously motivated… to save the w orld, their industry, their career or just their sanity by being creative; who are dying to make something or just make sense out of what they are doing. The creative charge of ITP Camp comes from the community of participants sharing their ideas, skills, criticisms and passions with each other in small, informal groups. We’re creating a flexible structure, an Un-University, that is responsive and supportive to the group we select. The structure is based on “unconferences” such as foocamp or barcamp, where presentations and discussions form in response to participants’ interests and projects.
