Leadership by Design

Rising high school 9–12th graders are invited to collaborate with the Winston-Salem community and local professionals in designing for social change through a week-long summer camp.

If you're a high school student in the Forsyth County, NC area interested in design, making, and serving your community, this camp is for you! Gain new skills and make an impact during this 1-week camp that will change the way you see the world.

Licensed design & engineering professionals + educators lead campers in discovering the Design Thinking process, putting their innate creativity to work for the good of our community. This year we're partnering with Boston-Thurmond United, with whom we'll be designing a community art & garden space for the neighborhood.
