The Center for Research and Education in Arts, Technology, and Entertainment conducts multidisciplinary projects, and research-driven initiatives, as a part of the University of Central Florida. CREATE’s affiliated faculty, students, and staff explore a myriad of educational, research, and creative topics while promoting community awareness.

CREATE’s after-school and summer programs promote learning through exciting and unique A+STEM experiences. With engaging learning and relevant content, students will gain knowledge in college level animation, leadership, life skills, and the newest technology in our very own CreatorSpace (makerspace).

High school students work in CREATE's downtown Orlando computer lab.

“We heard about this pre-college program all the way from Connecticut. The administrators and the entire team at CREATE were very professional and welcoming from the very first call. This is an amazing opportunity for kids who love the animation and film world. I’m very grateful my kid was accepted and she could add this extraordinary experience in the path to her future career. Thank you UCF CREATE team.”

“The animation intensive was a great experience learning new skills and having fun through different skills we have learned. Being able to gain these skills help me understand the core for animation.”

“My experience here was so amazing and inspiring. I truly enjoyed working on my short film with my amazing team and I think we did really well.”
