The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation announced the return of its Camp Taliesin West with a lineup of full- and half-day sessions for K-12 students on topics surrounding architecture, science, art and photography.
Sessions are available both in-person at Taliesin West, Wright’s winter home and studio in Scottsdale, and virtually through Zoom, according to a press release.
Taliesin West’s trained museum educators provide an enriching STEAM education by combining Wright’s principles of organic architecture and solutions-based design with engaging and interactive activities.
Through a variety of crafts, insightful discussions from guest speakers, tours of the World Heritage Site, intricate model-building projects and more, campers will be encouraged to harness their critical thinking skills, ignite their creativity and foster a sustainable mindset.
“Camp Taliesin West offers a unique learning experience for students who are passionate or curious about architecture and STEAM disciplines,” Abbie Wilson, youth and family programs manager at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, said in the release. “Whether participating in person or virtually, every camper is ensured a rewarding, collaborative and enriching experience.”
