Festival Details
Through Disney Imagination Campus workshops, students will uncover the science behind Disney’s iconic attractions, explore the engineering and storytelling involved in theme park design, and examine how technology and music work together to create immersive guest experiences.
Our STEAM Festival will include the following Disney Imagination Campus workshops:
Technology of Disney Parks
In this unique science workshop at EPCOT's Imagination Campus Facility, students will learn the role that physics plays in the design and operation of Disney theme park attractions and entertainment—exploring Newton’s laws of motion, gravity, and potential and kinetic energy. Students will step into the shoes of a Disney Imagineer and explore how these concepts are applied in real-world theme park environments.
Theme Park Design
At Magic Kingdom, students will discover how Disney Imagineers combine imagination with large-scale functionality. This workshop introduces concepts in design, visual storytelling, and practical layout. From flow management to maintenance planning, students will gain a deeper understanding of how world-class theme parks are made possible.
Physics of Disney Parks
In this workshop at Hollywood Studios, students will explore how Disney Imagineers use physics, engineering, and storytelling to bring attractions to life. From animatronics to light and sound effects, students will get a behind-the-scenes look at how immersive experiences are powered by STEAM disciplines.
Music in Storytelling
At EPCOT, students will explore how Disney theme parks use music to enhance storytelling and guest experience. Through listening exercises and cultural exploration, students will learn how music creates emotion, sets tone, and builds immersive, inclusive environments—without needing music theory or composition knowledge.
Immersive Storytelling
At Animal Kingdom, students will explore how Disney Imagineers create multi-sensory experiences through attractions, music, performances, and design. With hands-on activities, students will learn the early creative process of developing theme park experiences and how the five senses are used to engage audiences in immersive storytelling.
Our Venues
Disney Imagination Campus is an educational initiative by Disney that provides immersive, hands-on learning experiences. Through workshops led by Disney professionals, students explore real-world applications of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math—all integrated into Disney’s creative environment. Surrounded by innovation and storytelling, students are encouraged to think critically and dream boldly.
Windermere Preparatory School, located on a scenic 48-acre campus in Windermere, Florida, offers an inspiring environment for STEAM learning. With state-of-the-art labs, makerspaces, and a robotics facility, students engage in interdisciplinary experiences that encourage exploration and innovation through hands-on learning.
