Welcome to Camp Curioso!

We build better products by speaking to our users! Camp Curioso is an opportunity for students to act as Junior Designers, providing valuable feedback on our products in development. During the three weeks of Camp Curioso, students will participate in both one-on-one sessions and focus groups with other students their age. We use student feedback to inform how we build our products. Thank you in advance for your support of this program!

For this summer’s Camp Curioso, we’re looking for students who will be in grades 1 through 6 during the upcoming 2024–25 school year. We have room for around five students per grade—so space is limited!

Camp Curioso 2024 is three weeks long, beginning on July 15 and wrapping up on August 2. Junior Designers will have two weekly commitments:

1. A weekly 30-minute one-on-one session with an Amplify playtester. These sessions will be on the same day and at the same time each week (to be decided with caregivers).
2. A one-hour focus group on Fridays, where students will meet other Junior Designers their age from around the country!
   a.  Grades 1–3 focus group: 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. ET
   b.  Grades 4–6 focus group: 3:00 p.m.– 4:00 p.m. ET

• *There will be a Camp Curioso Kickoff for caregivers and students on Thursday, July 11 from 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET. We’ll provide an overview of the program and get everyone excited for Camp Curioso! If you can’t make it, don’t worry; the kickoff will be recorded and emailed to you.

All Camp Curioso sessions will be virtual, held on Google Meet.

All data will be reviewed and shared internally to inform ongoing product development. Video recordings, transcripts, and students’ personally identifiable information are stored in a secure database that only our Amplify researchers can access.

Each Junior Designer will receive a $100 Amazon gift card upon completion of the Camp Curioso program.

We ask caregivers to be present at the start of the session to help Junior Designers with technical set-up.
