Press Release Summary: Teens get hands on design, media, culinary and fashion
experience all in one week1

Press Release Body: Spend a week at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale this summer
and leave with new skills, new friends, new experiences, and a new outlook on what
to do for a career in the media, design, culinary, or fashion industries.

From July 21-25, high school students have an opportunity to explore creative
education programs from the perspective of a college student in The Art Institute of
Fort Lauderdale's College Connection. This week-long experience provides a teenager
with an introduction to what it's like to attend a career oriented college and learn
about and use tools, techniques, and theories that are practiced by professionals in
their fields.

Students will attend hands on classes taught by the same professional experts who
teach at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Shoot and edit video, whip up a
culinary treat, design an interactive game, construct a new product or fashionable
garment, design an advertising layout, and more! When not in the classroom, a
variety of activities are planned each day to maximize the experience of being in an
artistic and creative college for a week. Students will go home with a project they
have created and a greater knowledge of what they want to do after high school.
