Beam Camp Call for Proposals

Hello,

My name is Brian Cohen, co-director of Beam Camp (http://www.beamcamp.com), a 5-week summer program for boys and girls aged 7-17 in Strafford, NH.

Beam Campers cultivate hands-on skills while exploring innovative thinking, design and the creative process.

They transform ideas into artifacts and personal achievement into community success. Teams of campers work on different aspects of the spectacular Beam Project each morning. In the afternoons, they participate in Domains; unique, in-depth, hands-on explorations in the arts, sciences, athletic or cultural fields.

Beam seeks to collaborate with artists/makers/big thinkers in several possible ways.
- Beam Project 2011 Call for Proposal - The Beam Project is a spectacular large-scale endeavor, ranging from the conceptual to the structural. Here's our Call for Proposals for Summer 2011:
http://www.beamcamp.com/project-proposal/
- Every summer we invite to camp to share their passions with the campers in week-long Domain workshops. Here's our Domain RFP for this summer: http://tinyurl.com/yckgt79

If you're interested in exploring possibilities with us, please email me at brian [at] beamcamp.com.

Thanks.

guest blogging duties

Last week, I had the privilege of being the featured guest blogger for the school district's technology blog, Boston Public. Check out this short piece I penned about Joe Herrington, a really cool cat and great teacher at the O'Bryant in Roxbury, who pushes his students to think critically, analyze problems, and consider STEM careers daily.

I might have to get back to writing more.
