Saturday, April 18, 2026
Griffin Street Studio | Dallas, TX
Serving high school students (9th–12th grade)
CK Campus is launching its inaugural Creative + STEM Pop-Up , an immersive, hands-on learning experience introducing high school students to real-world careers in design, digital media, and creative technology.
We are seeking mission-aligned sponsors to support the launch of this immersive Creative + STEM workforce experience and ensure participation remains fully funded for students.
Many students do not see a clear pathway from imagination to career.
This pop-up serves as an early intervention introducing high school students to real-world creative and digital industries through hands-on lab rotations, industry mentorship, and collaborative problem-solving.
No prior experience required.
Participation is free for students.
WHY THIS EVENT MATTERS
For this inaugural pilot, CK Campus aims to serve:
• 25 high school students
• 3 rotating Creative + STEM labs
• 5+ creative professionals engaged as mentors and facilitators
Students will leave with:
• Foundational understanding of creative and digital workforce pathways
• Increased confidence in creative and technical skill application
• Exposure to real industry tools, workflows, and mentorship
• Expanded awareness of postsecondary and career options in design and technology
Post-event surveys will measure:
• Shifts in career awareness and interest
• Growth in creative and technical skill confidence
• Identified access gaps in creative technology tools
• Intent to pursue continued Creative + STEM programming
Sponsors will receive a post-event impact summary outlining participation data, survey findings, and key insights from the pilot.
