About this event
Baylor TIP Camp is primarily residential, but families may select a day camp option. Students will stay in the dorms with Resident Assistants Sunday night through Friday nights, going home Saturday morning. Course offerings will run from 9am to 4pm, and social events and activities will be held every evening. Meals are included with registration. Students who elect to commute to camp will have the option of participating in the breakfast and staying for evening activities if they choose. Students must have been admitted to Baylor TIP to enroll. Curating the Past: Rare Books & Hidden Histories What if you got to decide how history is remembered and present your ideas to the world like a pro? In this hands-on course, you will become curators, working with rare books, letters, and artifacts from university libraries to design an original special collections exhibit. Dig into hidden stories, uncover secrets in primary sources, and decide how to make the past speak to a modern audience. You’ll tackle interactive challenges, visit libraries, and learn insider techniques from professionals. The course culminates in a pitch to a mock museum board, where you will work in teams to defend your exhibit and respond to questions. Throughout the process, you will sharpen transferable skills used in fields like law, journalism, marketing, UX design, business, and STEM: research, critical analysis, collaboration, storytelling, and confident presentation. If you like discovering hidden stories and turning ideas into something tangible, this course puts you in charge of the narrative. Level: TIP Lyceum
