Enhancing student innovation through global collaboration, connections and community.
At the Second Annual NuVuX Student Summit
NuVuX Student Summit is a 2.5-day student-focused design extravaganza! We launched this student-facing summit in 2024 so that successful students in the NuVuX network could meet in person to exchange ideas, collaborate on projects, and foster a sense of community. The Summit celebrates excellent work from our students and builds opportunities for networking and personal development.
After the incredible success of last year’s event, we’re thrilled to extend the summit invitation to students from ALL of our NuVuX Partner Schools around the globe! Mark your calendars for an unforgettable spring weekend filled with inspiration, collaboration, and creativity!
🗓️ Dates: April 11-13, 2025
📍 Location: NuVu High School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
📚Participants: Students - grades 6-12
Each partner school may select up to 4 students from the group of students who have or are currently participating in a NuVuX studio experience during the 2024-25 academic year. We recommend that schools base their selection criteria on which students would most benefit from or excel at engaging with NuVu’s hands-on and creative model.
