This post is brought to you by DigiPen Academy and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own.

Our summer plans have been upended quite a bit so I have been scrambling to figure out what my kids want to do with their summer! Although we’ll be doing plenty of hiking and fishing outdoors, the kids were still interested in learning a new skill by taking virtual classes. 

DigiPen Academy (the K-12 sibling of DigiPen Institute of Technology) has over 40 really awesome workshops for elementary, middle, and high school students! From exploratory workshops to year-round academic programs and homeschool programs, DigiPen Academy offers classes in areas like art & animation, game design, programming, engineering, music & sound design and more! All very relevant trendy areas of high interest to kids.

Sign up now and get $25 OFF with promo code BDC25 (expires July 3!).

Each virtual class is taught live with classes both in the morning and in the afternoon for scheduling convenience – registration is open right now for the summer! (Spring Workshops are still open for the June 8th session!)

In the description of each workshop it’ll let you know what items you need in order to attend the class, course description, dates/times and prices. Plus, all items that students need for the summer programs are included in the price and will be shipped directly to them!

Both of my boys, although they have very different interests, have found courses at DigiPen Academy that they would like. To be honest I see courses there for the kids that even I would like to take!

Below are some of the classes available:
