Training
At the heart of NuVu’s curriculum are studios, a series of immersive, interdisciplinary, three- to four-week projects
Studios
Studio Snapshot:
Deep Sea Bots
In this studio, students will develop robots that use the depth of the sea to their advantage as they maneuver through the sea floors, slither through the kelp forest, and collect rare specimens unscathed using biomimetic grippers. Students will take inspiration from deep sea creatures and design devices and robots to carry out underwater missions to protect our oceans and cohabitate with diverse underwater ecosystems.

Canopy Creations
What kind of treehouse will you design—a secret hideaway, an art studio, or a peaceful oasis in the treetops? In the "Canopy Creations" studio, you will collaborate with your peers to design and construct unique treehouses. Each group will innovate their branch and treehouse concept, exploring functions such as cozy residences, inspiring studios, and more!
