Deep Sea Bots
In Deep Sea Bots, students will develop novel solutions that help sustain Earth’s life below water. Using deep-sea creatures as inspiration, students will prototype devices that help to create a more sustainable ocean ecosystem. Projects will address issues of plastic marine pollution, fishery collapse, acidification, and other issues threatening our oceans in an effort to maintain the integrity of our oceans.
District-Scale Transformation in San Diego
NuVuX in Action
SDUSD
San Diego, California
NuVuX works within the CTE program that runs across 10 schools in San Diego Unified. The partnership supports teacher capacity building over a three year time frame.
PD & Studio Implementation
NuVu studios are taking the place of what used to be engineering/design CTE classes. So they are either 2 or 3 times a week for 50 mins
"NuVu was a life changing experience...it opened up my mind and made me think differently about what I should be focusing on in the classroom, which was helping students see differently.”
