It delivers on this concept in a number of ways by: presenting themed weeks during the course of Maker Camp; visiting guest makers’ studios; and going on virtual field trips to iconic company and organization headquarters, showcasing the creative makers who have been instrumental in forging their successful, world-renowned brands. Other companies that have participated in Maker Camp include Walt Disney Imagineering, National Geographic Society, Cartoon Network, Pixar and NASA.
Hosted by a team of Blue Man Group’s performers and technicians, the exclusive Maker Camp tour will showcase how the customized instruments are created and played, the company’s one-of-a-kind creative process and much more. Campers will be amazed by the unprecedented amount of backstage and behind-the-scenes access to the famous Las Vegas stage production. At the end, the team will take questions from campers, unveiling secrets about the mysterious world that characterizes Blue Man Group.
