NuFolio
NuHub
NuExperts
Nufolio is a visual learning platform that brings student work to the forefront, where ideas, prototypes, feedback, and presentations can all exist in a single location. Nufolio allows students and teachers to collaborate inside and outside the studio through a shared workspace, supporting iterative design and a culture of innovation.
NuFolio
Designed and built on NuVu’s 12 years of experience in studio-based learning, NuHub’s rich collection of resources help stimulate a dynamic learning environment for teachers and students.
NuHub
Through remote, one-hour professional develop workshops and expert guidance, teachers build the creative confidence to implement design studio methods and processes in their own classrooms. Workshops run throughout the year to support teachers in the delivery of studio programs and the development of new skills and methods.

School-Scale Transformation
NuVuX in Action
Odyssey STEM Academy
Lakewood, California
In the Interdisciplinary Studios Model, all teachers plan together an interdisciplinary project. This project forms a single, cohesive project pursuit for students to experience. The singular project is explored in multiple subject-area studios led by credentialed teachers. All of the unique artifacts of learning come together to form a project narrative presentation at the end of each studio.
