Empowering Education Since 1999

Digital Media Academy, born as the Academy for New Media at Stanford University in 1999, started as a catalyst for K-12 educators and high-school students eager to master cutting-edge digital media tools. By 2002, we transformed into Digital Media Academy (DMA) and unveiled our pioneering STEAM summer camps at Stanford University.

Expanding globally in 2008, DMA camps have been taught in world-renowned institutions like Harvard, NYU, Georgetown, UCLA, Oxford, and McGill University. Today, we’ve left our mark in over 1,000 schools across 125 countries, introducing 500,000+ students to the world of STEAM.

In 2017, we launched the School Partner Program, an initiative dedicated to bringing our forward-thinking experiences to schools and students. In 2022, this evolved into “Leading STEAM Schools in the World,” a membership and accreditation program empowering schools to future-proof tomorrow’s leaders.

Our vision is a world where STEAM education is the standard in all K-12 schools globally. Through our cutting-edge programs, we aim to unlock the full potential of every school, educator, and student and prepare the next generation of global leaders to succeed in a digital future.

Digital Media Academy is preparing the next generation of global leaders to succeed in a digital future through cutting-edge STEAM programs and experiences worldwide, inside and outside the classroom.

Led by leading educators and industry experts, we’re empowering schools, educators, and students globally with innovative world-class STEAM programs to inspire creativity, cultivate critical thinking, and instill 21st-century skills.
