Studio Process

Nufolio allows students and teachers to collaborate inside and outside the studio through a shared workspace, supporting iterative design and a culture of innovation.

Architecture After Play
In Fall 2019, NuVu students began designing Pipedreams, an art-play sculpture that celebrates the industrial legacy of Danehy Park in Cambridge, MA. After two years, and three studios of planning and designing work, the installation was completed. The Cambridge Arts Council hosted a formal opening in November 2021.

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.
