Computation Robotics Engineering Arts Technology Energy
Welcome to the CREATE Discovery Program!
CREATE is a partnership project of the Minnesota Technology Network and CodeSavvy.org, designed to provide practical, real-world training in Visual Communications, Metacognition, and the latest in Computation, Robotics, Engineering, Arts, Technology, and Energy.
Our innovative and proven approach is designed to increase topical awareness and empower future innovators with the skills they need to tackle the most pressing challenges of our time.
We have two offerings available through this program:
- Challenges and Exploration Events for Middle and High School students
- Summer Internships for College/University Students
Challenges and Exploration Events
Using our CREATE Discovery cards, students are taught the basics of functional programming languages, generative artificial intelligence, and data visualization.
By attending exploration events that we host throughout the state of MN, and/or simply purchasing the set of cards that interests them most, students gain the ability to compete in special challenges and competitions against other students throughout the state, all while increasing their understanding and exposure to CREATE topics and gaining computational thinking skills.
Students and parents that are interested in learning more should join our mailing list to stay connected for future opportunities!
College/University Student Internships
Our unique summer internship program offers an opportunity for college and university students to gain hands-on experience in the latest technologies and industry practices. We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals who are interested in learning and contributing to our curated content for younger Minnesota students.
Interns will work on projects such as creating educational videos, developing interactive websites and games, and producing educational materials. They will also have the opportunity to connect with industry professionals and mentors, join a community of like-minded students and educators, and prepare for future careers in technology, arts, and innovation.
Our program offers:
- A practical, real-world application of technology and arts education
- Emphasis on experiential learning and training
- A team-based approach that fosters collaboration and innovation
- Access to industry professionals and mentors
- Personalized learning experience tailored to each student's needs and goals
We welcome applicants from a variety of colleges and universities. No previous experience is necessary, but a passion for technology and arts education is a must. Applicants should be able to work full-time during the summer months and be able to commit to the program for its entirety.
