Open World by DigiPen Launches Summer 2025 Workshop List
Open World by DigiPen has released the full schedule of over 40 workshops that will run during Summer 2025 season. The daily drop-off/pick-up workshops for kids ages 5–18 encourage their passions for computer science, game design, art and animation, music and sound design, engineering, and more. The one- and two-week workshops will run from June 23 to August 22, 2025.
Next summer will be Open World’s third year of operations. But summer is not the only season for STEAM adventures at Open World; school-year programs include the free Discover Open World events, figure-drawing workshops, and 3D printing workshops.
Registration for Open World’s Summer 2025 workshops begins in November. Early Bird registrants, who sign up by the October 31st deadline, will have a week of early access to registration before the schedule is made available to the public.
