Disney Revamps Education Program With Imagination Campus
For many high school aged student paying a visit to Walt Disney World or Disneyland with your class is a rite of passaging not only for all the fun you’ll have at the theme parks but for the educational programs that students can participate in during your visit.
During the COVID-19 shutdown, Disney had a chance to revamp it’s educational offerings and with that in mind, I’d like to introduce you to the Imagination Campus!
Imagination Campus will now include a collection of workshops across a variety of academic subjects and also including the performing arts. Best of all, the programs are tiered to different grade levels meaning that educators can be confident that they’re a perfect fit for your students!
Imagination Campus Kicks Off in January 2022
Beginning in January of next year, students will be able to enroll in workshops in the following subject areas:
- Arts and Humanities
- Science and Technology
- Leadership and Innovation
The programs have been created in collaboration with Walt Disney Imagineering to deliver and education curriculum that is also big on magic. Maryann Smith, Vice President of Sales, Services & Events at The Walt Disney Company said, “We’ve taken these key skills and worked with Walt Disney Imagineering, Disney Live Entertainment and other Disney thought leaders to create new educational experiences to challenge students to use their imagination, all within our real-world learning laboratories and performance venues across our theme parks.”
Disney has said that they will be welcoming back their Performing Arts workshops and performances. Matt Conover, Vice President, Disneyland Resort Live Entertainment had this to say about the workshops, “Disney Imagination Campus will build upon that legacy and expand on stage and backstage experiences led by world-class Disney arts professionals. We worked with educators from a variety of disciplines to bring their expertise so our new campus will offer educational experiences for students from all over to enjoy.”
Disney’s new Imagination Campus curriculum will show students, teachers and parents how imaginative learning can make a lasting impact!
In addition, Disney is collaborating with Kahoot! to bring an interactive element to select ticket-only experiences, workshops and educational workshops. Kahoot CEO Eilert Hanoa had this to say about the partnership, “Whether students are visiting the Disney Parks for a day or participating in workshops, we’ve developed interactive, self-guided challenges that will test their comprehension and retention of key learning objectives during their visit.
