Open World Philosophy

Every child who attends our workshops should come away feeling engaged by our instructors and industry guests, excited to share what they learned and created, empowered with the skills to continue creating, and cared for by every member of our team.

 

Open World Core Values

• Exploration: Our program allows students to explore new fields and dive deep into subjects they are passionate about.
• Problem solving: Through our workshops’ fun and engaging activities, our students will learn problem solving skills that can be applied outside of our program.
• Industry connection: Our students will experience a direct connection to the interactive media industry, via our instructors and industry guests
• Care: Every student who attends our workshops will feel seen and cared for.
