NuVu Summer differentiates itself by offering a studio-based learning model where students prototype their ideas from scratch, rather than using pre-made kits, and receive personalized guidance from expert coaches.
The NuVu Summer Innovation & Design Camp offers middle and high school students a hands-on, project-based learning experience. Students engage in a design process that includes brainstorming, prototyping, iteration, and review to solve complex, real-world problems. The curriculum integrates diverse skills such as engineering, AI, robotics, architecture, product design, game design, fashion, and entrepreneurship. Students gain technical skills, confidence, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities through personalized guidance from expert coaches with backgrounds from institutions like MIT, Harvard, and RISD. The program emphasizes physical making, with students prototyping their ideas from scratch using state-of-the-art equipment.
A typical day runs from 9am to 3pm, starting with studio work, followed by a lunch break with outdoor time, and concluding with more studio work focused on technical skills, feedback, and prototyping.
This camp is best for students aged 11-18 who are interested in STEM, art, design, and creativity, and who want to learn through hands-on, collaborative projects.
