About
DesignX

DesignX offer one-of-a-kind IN-PERSON programs in design to unleash and nurture creativity in kids ages 7y-16y in Los Altos, CA. Their programs are offered year round-as summer camps during the summer and as after school and elective programs during the school year. Kids learn how to take their idea from concept to completion for Fashion, Textiles, Soft Toys, Wood Toys, Accessories and Architecture

The curriculum and methodologies used in our programs enables budding fashionistas and tinkerers as young as 7y to explore their 'voice' and build on their creative confidence. DesignX students have a personal connection to their finished projects, as they are creating something that they intend to wear or use... encouraging true “design thinking" while fostering a sense of global awareness and an eco-friendly mindset.

Our unique programs have empowered over 3500 young designers and makers in silicon valley. 

Join us to provide the best creative experiences for your kids!

My daughter really enjoyed this camp - more than she had thought she would. She learned new skills and made a variety of soft items - from keychains to a stuffy (her new favorite one of course!).

About a month ago in May, I registered for mid June camps for both my kids with full payment and confirmation in email. Today (10 days before the start of summer camp), I received an email telling me that one of my kids is still on the waitlist for this camp ???!!! Later, I received another email informing me that my other kid is also on the waitlist.

Being a full-time working mom, I spent hours to research and plan my kids' summer schedule so that we can survive the summer. It's really unprofessional, and unacceptable to inform parents with one week notice that the full camp fee they paid was for the waitlists (that they were not even aware of). This showed the lack of management of this summer camp.

Too bad that both kids were really looking forward to it. Sharing this experience so that others be aware before they book in the future.

Hi Yuvika....our two half day programs have been combined to a full day program due to COVID -- to avoid kids going in and out. May we ask how old you child is? Let us know ...so we can point you in the right direction -- DX Team -
