About The University of Chicago

If your child or teen is looking for a summer camp that will give them a chance to learn more about digital media while having fun in the Windy City, Digital Media Academy’s summer computer camps will provide an amazing experience they won’t forget. With day camp or residential camp programs, teens and pre-teens in the Digital Media Academy summer camps can explore game programming with Python or C++, digital filmmaking, 3D game development, music and video production, or 3D role playing games and strategy. Kids ages 6-8 and 9-12 will embark on adventures in comic creation, digital photography, and web design. At the University of Chicago, Digital Media Academy campers will enjoy a pre-college experience while producing digital projects of their very own.

The University of Chicago is a private university that was established in 1892. Located in the community of Hyde Park, the University of Chicago is well known for its diversity and academic heritage. Affiliated with 85 Nobel Prize laureates, the University of Chicago is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost universities and is ranked among the nation’s top ten educational institutions by US News and World Report. The university also has a rich architectural history with its limestone Gothic buildings, which are uniquely contrasted with other brightly colored buildings. Being only seven miles from downtown Chicago, visitors to this campus can also take advantage of the city’s educational and cultural learning opportunities, including The Museum of Science and Industry, The Art Institute of Chicago, and The Field Museum. The Digital Media Academy is sponsored by the University of Chicago Summer Session
