Our academic school year might be finished in early summer but NuVu will not close down. On the contrary, NuVu's team will be busy and bring back our Summer Camp Studios to you in July and August 2014. The theme will be Fantasy!
Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, Avatar, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory…These stories have taken over our imaginations and filled our thoughts with magical worlds, whimsical creatures, and supernatural phenomena. Fantasy creates a vivid space in our minds and hearts that allows us to freely imagine possibilities and stories that may exist one day, or remain in our imaginations for a long time to come. Many aspects of fantasy take inspiration from ancient mythology and folklore, but what types of fantasy worlds, objects, games, vehicles, and fashion do you imagine when mixed with modern-day technologies, myths, and gadgetry?
Students will dive into a multitude of topics surrounding the Fantasy theme, stretching their imaginations and gaining valuable knowledge and skills along the way. NuVu's students will learn about Engineering, Computer Programming, Electronics, Fashion Design, and Filmmaking. They will be designing, programming and building robots, creating digital art and animation, designing and fabricating clothing garments, and inventing new toys.
In each studio, students will be pushed out of their comfort zone, and will stretch their creative limits to come up with something they have never done before. Students will get inspired and inspire each other to develop social, problem solving and technology skills. Students will work in collaborative teams under the guidance of our coaches, who are professional experts and academics at MIT. The studios are inspired by cutting-edge research and inventions from research institutes, universities as well as the vibrant technology and design industries.
The Summer 2014 program is open to youth, ages 11-17. Studio enrollment is limited.
