The Camp for Designing the Future for high school students was held at SFC from Wednesday, August 2, to Thursday, August 3.
Now in its seventh year, the Camp for Designing the Future was planned as a place for participants meeting for the first time to share their diverse knowledge and wisdom and to experientially learn about the "ability to execute" that connects to the future. By communicating with fellow campers and tackling open-ended problems, flexible thinking and flashes of insight emerge.
During the camp, 136 high school students from across the country were divided into six workshops, where they proactively engaged in discussions and creative projects alongside faculty members and current SFC students.
In the residential workshop, participants stayed at SBC Residence Hall 1, SFC's lodging facility, and worked through the night to build and complete robots endowed with an animal-like "animacy" (life-likeness).
It was a day of meeting new friends, fostering exchange, and being exposed to the unique perspectives and ways of thinking characteristic of SFC, enabling participants to take a step toward their future.
You can see the events of the day in the video below.
