The University of the Arkansas Design Camp will be held this summer at various locations.
Design Camp offers the chance to learn about the design professions through hands-on projects, tours and discussions led by architecture, landscape architecture and interior design faculty of the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design. Students will have the opportunity to work closely with faculty and collaborate with peers in a fun and creative studio environment while they walk with you through the design process.
In summer 2020, two different weeklong camps will take place on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville; campers also have the option to stay overnight in a campus residence hall. Additional weeklong day camps are planned in Hot Springs, Little Rock, El Dorado and Wilson. New this year, a two-week-long residential Immersive Camp will be held on the U of A campus for more experienced designers.

Students in Mrs. McClellan's Transitional Math classes applied what they learned about linear functions by simulating a bungee jump in class last week. Students used balloons with flour and rubber bands to collect data, and then, they used that data to write the equation of a line of best fit. This equation was used to predict the number of rubber bands needed to provide a safe, yet thrill-seeking jump for the jumper. What a neat lesson!
If you missed the Winter Concert on Tuesday, you missed an amazing showcase of talented students. And behind those students is an equally amazing group of teachers who pour their hearts into their students and their art. We are so thankful for each of you and the time you spend perfecting your music with your students!
