Our Model

Our studio-based learning model comes from NuVu, an innovation school for middle and high school students whose pedagogy is based on the architectural studio model in which students learn through hands-on collaborative projects.

While at NuVu, students engage in a rigorous design process that includes brainstorming, prototyping, iteration and review, all the while working collaboratively to solve complex real-world problems. NuVu’s studio model promotes creativity, critical thinking and innovation skills.

NuVuX connects this pedagogy with schools and organizations across the globe, through studio curriculum, professional development, expert teachers and other resources.

Staff

The camp will be led by dynamic and passionate members of the NuVuX Team, who bring a diversity of expertise - including graduates from MIT and Harvard, visual artists, architects, and professionals developing innovative products in various fields. Please visit our Team page to learn more about our team, who we are, our diverse expertise, and things that we love to do.
