Hands-On Learning | Disney Imagination Campus (2024)

Inspire the next generation of creative thinkers and doers with our enriching educational workshops and youth programs. Our hands-on learning environment was designed to enhance students’ creative intelligence, critical thinking and communication skills. Students receive an inclusive education in this collaborative environment that is overflowing with creativity—and, of course, a touch of Disney magic.

We Believe in Imagination-Powered Learning

What are two of the most powerful problem-solving tools? Imagination and curiosity. Through them, Disney Imagination Campus helps students develop their creative intelligence and critical thinking skills.

Here's how our unique Imagination-Powered Learning works: We offer a comprehensive collection of student enrichment programs and educational workshops across a range of performing arts and academic subjects. We introduce ideas and explore subjects, best practices and principles via real-world applications and the problems accompanying them. Students will learn how to use their innate capabilities to face those challenges, recognizing their own potential as they do. As a result, Imagination-Powered Learning is not only an educational opportunity that makes a lasting, positive impact on how students feel about learning in general—but also it opens the door for career exploration.

Overall, students will learn how to apply their imagination to solve problems they could face throughout their lifetime—being wildly creative, if need be. We provide new perspectives, an opportunity to learn critical thinking along with creative thinking and an invitation to engage in fearless exploration and unfettered wonder—with amazing results!

• Curiosity

  Curiosity means asking, “what if?” And asking, “what if?” is the beginning of exploring what’s possible. Disney Imagination Campus encourages curiosity and helps each student use it to create, innovate and discover new and novel paths forward.

• Diversity

  We believe bringing together people from diverse backgrounds leads students to understand various points of view. The more students can understand others, the more expansive their vision of the world is—and the greater their chance for success.

  Walt Disney was a master storyteller. That skill is still at the heart of everything we do here at the Walt Disney Company. By teaching students through dynamic storytelling, we give them the key for enhancing their own communication skills—while also impacting their lives in lasting ways and sparking a love of learning.
