For Educators, Summer 2023
The NuVuX Summer Innovation Camp introduces participants to NuVu’s design process. In this camp, you will tap into your innate creativity and gain first hand experience in the collaborative studio environment. You’ll learn how to use a studio framework to develop your problem solving skills and integrate this creative mindset within your school.
Our Innovation Camp is specifically geared toward K-12 educators, heads of school, technology coordinators, R&D directors, and department heads. We encourage schools to organize small teams to participate in the Innovation Workshop for maximum effectiveness. Our hands-on Innovation Workshop enables teachers to discover new ways of bringing creative and real world problem solving into their schools.

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.
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.
Innovation Camp is for educators, instructional coaches, facilitators, professionals, makers-to-be, design enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the hands-on innovation process. Participants will experience NuVu’s studio model and design process through hands-on projects and learn how to integrate this creative mindset within their school, classroom, or professional environment. If you have an interest in design education or the innovation process, then our Studio Innovation Camp is for you!
This camp is appropriate for educators, department heads, administrators, or staff who wish to learn more about the NuVu model and apply it to their practice.
Participants are encouraged to bring an unlined sketchbook and preferred writing utensils (pencils or pens). Participants will also benefit from bringing a laptop.
