Highlighting the ongoing disruptions emanating from the COVID-19 pandemic, Hip Hop Architecture Camp has announced that it will hold its summer sessions online this year. 

According to the Hip Hop Architecture Camp website, the camp is open to middle school and high school students, and will be held between August 1 and August 11, 2020. "There is no typical student for The Hip Hop Architecture Camp," the announcement states, adding, "Our students are aspiring architects, urban planners hip hop artists, musicians, computer game creators, interior designers, industrial designers, politicians and more!"

To help inaugurate this year's special summer series, Michael Ford, Hip Hop Architecture Camp founder, plans to hold an International Hip Hop Architecture Day celebration on August 1st that will be followed by a closing event on August 11th themed around the 47th Anniversary of Hip Hop. 

During this celebration, the top 20 portfolios generated by the camp participants will be awarded special prizes including 3D Printers, Chromebooks, apparel and most importantly an invitation to participate in the paid, second phase of the virtual camp during 2020 Christmas break, according to the website.
