This Year’s Theme: Rube Goldberg Machines
This year’s theme is Rube Goldberg Machines. You know the ones. Wildly inventive, horribly inefficient, and bizarrely creative. It’s a no-holds-barred explosion of mechanical genius. Our twist: the story. We combine writing, photography, video, a hands-on engineering to move an audience to joy and tears.

“Creativity Camp helped me grow as a person, learn about what goes on during the process of creativity, and will highly benefit me during future projects.”
“Creativity Camp was super fun. My favorite parts were the QuickFire Challenges and the way the team worked together to finish our project by Friday.”
“Collaboration generates amazing energy. Entering into the creative process together brings wonder and surprise every time.”
“I’m a writer and mostly work alone. Creativity Labs feed my relational, playful sides. And each of the labs I’ve participated in has given me a tool—sometimes just a word or image—to get me past that nasty place called Stuck.”
“Working through the challenges at Creativity Labs has paid off for me as a photographer. This experience has changed the way I look through my lens. I’m seeing light, shape, line and texture in a whole new way.”
