Level up your design game with this summer program for high school students. These classes will take place at NextGen Bootcamp's premium location in Midtown Manhattan.
Students will learn how to make photos pop and create eye-catching graphics with Adobe Photoshop, design print and web layouts with Adobe InDesign, and create logos, icons, and other scalable images with Adobe Illustrator. Along the way, the class will go over important concepts for professional designers and best practices for graphic design.
After learning about traditional graphic design, the class will get a strong basis in user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design. Using Figma, today's most popular UX/UI app, students will build clickable prototypes for applications that they can test and refine.
This course will give high school students a chance to build a portfolio, learn the ins and outs of design, and gain useful skills that can be applied in college, jobs, internships, extracurricular activities, and more. At the conclusion of the course, students will receive a Certificate of Completion that they can add to their resume and LinkedIn account.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
Became proficient in Java programming and computer science topics and knew nothing before. Would recommend!
