Creative Tech Summer Intensives @ Tandon at The Yard
Spend your Saturdays leveling-up fast: each one-day or two-day weekend workshop takes you from zero to a finished prototype in creative technology, interactive media, and virtual production. All classes are hands-on, taught by industry-active artists, and capped for personal feedback. Sign up below—new dates drop all summer long!
