Digital Design + Canva Creations is an introductory class that is focused on teaching skill sets for creative software programs. This course is for kids who have been introduced to the computer and feel comfortable navigating through basic skills such as using the mouse. Recommended for a mature 2nd Grader, 3rd - 5th Grade. Our curriculum is packed with engaging activities that inspire and develop creative confidence. Kids will experiment with colors, fonts, layouts, and more to bring their unique visions to life. By the end of the course, they'll walk away with a mini-portfolio of projects and the confidence to keep exploring the world of design! *Laptops are provided, 1 per student.
