THE DMA EXPERIENCE
Founded in 2002 by technology educators from Stanford University,
and led by former Stanford educators and interactive education and
entertainment creators from Apple and Walt Disney Studios - Digital Media
Academy delivers a world-class digital learning experience.
Learn video game design, iPhone and iPad App development, Google Android app
development, robotics, computer programming using Java or C+++, digital
filmmaking, digital photography, website design, 3D modeling, animation and so
much more.
Beginning to advanced student campers age 6-18 learn by doing with hands-on
instruction from industry professionals, with real-world experience. DMA builds
and develops STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills - many of
DMA’s instructors have literally written the book on the subject that they
teach. DMA Alumni include television and music producers, filmmakers,
professional photographers as well as game and app developers.
At DMA, students experience life on the campus of a prestigious American
university like Stanford, Harvard or UCLA (just to name a few) while making
friends and learning with others who share the same interests. Small class
sizes (8:1 max) guarantee a personalized experience. Students work on their own
personal project in every class.*
*DMA Studios is a group based project learning experience.
