For the past few years, we've been expanding the reach of our program beyond the US and bringing creative education to places around the world. This was our third year of running the Studio 6 Program in Mumbai, India in partnership with the American School of Bombay (ASB). This March, around 200 middle school students (grades 6-8) participated in 14 studios based on NuVu's studio model. Studios included Fun and Fashionable Wearable Electronics, Art in the Public Space, Robot Swarms, Solar-Powered BumbleBots, and Design in Color.
For a full week, classes stopped at ASB, and Studio 6 became the focus. Our NuVu team of Coaches brought creativity to the forefront of the school's agenda and students worked collaboratively to develop projects such as water-based solar-powered bumblebots, digital comics that explored themes of displacement, wearable tech pieces that tracked health metrics, and swarms of robots that worked as a team to build a complex structure.
