NuVuX is an initiative developed by NuVu to bring design, creativity and innovation to schools and organizations around the world. NuVu was founded to rigorously train students to develop innovative approaches to real-world problems, which we believe is an essential skill set for success beyond secondary education. Our pedagogy is founded on the principles of the architectural studio model and centers on hands-on learning-by-doing under the guidance of experts whom we call “Coaches.” Through multi-disciplinary projects, we help students navigate the messiness of the creative process through collaboration, iterative design and critique. Through NuVuX, we offer a number of programs and consulting services for educators, schools and professional organizations seeking to learn, enhance or implement a practice of innovation and creativity. NuVuX consists of multiple components that are implemented collectively for greater impact, including: program and curriculum development, onsite experts (NuVu Fellows), rotating experts, remote experts, in-house professional development, an online Studio Management Platform (SMP), and space planning for fab labs, shops and makerspaces.
