Students learn to think through making: ask better questions, work through uncertainty, and use each experiment to decide what to try next.
Coaches guide the exploration without handing over the answer. Students leave with a project—and more confidence in their own ideas.
Ideas grow through conversation, shared experiments, and hands-on coaching. Hear how one student describes the experience.
“I really liked working with a partner and bouncing off our ideas together. And our coach helping us figure out how to make these ideas. It was so cool using the laser cutter and 3d printers to make our solar-powered cooling vest”
We believe every child should have the chance to explore, create, and make. Financial aid and scholarships help more families experience NuVu Summer.
