DeepMay is a 10-day technology education camp with three distinct goals. First, to teach everyday users and organizers skills that enhance their technical autonomy and bolster our movements. Second, to dismantle hierarchies of technical expertise that confine the fruits of technical knowledge to a small class of highly specialized individuals. Third, to cultivate spaces where those with shared stakes in bringing about liberatory technological futures can think and build together. The camp provides opportunities for collaborative learning, collective idea generation, and cross-pollination.
Every year, camp takes place in a different region. This summer, we will be hosted outside of Minneapolis. We aim to curate a curriculum that centers local struggles while integrating both political education and technical rigor.
The 2026 camp will take place from August 7th-16th and is expected to serve 60-70 students across 5 distinct tracks. Each track has ~15-18 students. Total camp attendance is estimated to be 80-90 people, including instructors, support volunteers, organizers, and invited guests. All participants come together to share 3 meals a day, skill-share, camp together, and reproduce the space through collective effort. This fosters trust, long-lasting friendships, and a spirit of dedicated collaboration.
