Idea Lab (formerly Happy Camp: Summer Honors Symposium) is a summer program where Oregon teens and teachers use the humanities to explore the pursuit of happiness and how it shapes our culture.
Oregon Humanities is proud to announce the twenty Oregon secondary school teachers who have been chosen as Idea Lab Teaching Fellows for the 2012 Idea Lab Summer Institute, a three-day residential program for Oregon high school students that takes place at the University of Portland in July.
Fellows work with Oregon Humanities staff to recruit high school students and plan and teach at the summer institute, which explores the pursuit of happiness. In doing so, fellows receive a stipend, earn continuing education credits, and enhance their teaching skills.
Included in this talented and dedicated group of teachers from communities across the state are experts in topics ranging from ceramics and digital media to Holocaust literature and American transcendentalism. As Idea Lab grows closer, we’ll be taking opportunities to let you know more about their accomplishments and how they’re making the future brighter for Oregon high school students. To learn more, visit the Idea Lab page.
