Storytelling

Storytelling is the heart of our civilization. Through words, sounds and images we’ve shared stories for thousands of years. Spreading to generations beyond the storytellers’ imagination, these stories give us the means to express ideas, entertain, preserve traditions, even educate.

This Spring, our PreVu theme is ‘Storytelling!’ Kids will explore this theme through a number of topics each week. From mapping objects to creating motion picture machines to coding their food, kids will be making and designing each week! In each Studio, NuVu Coaches will frame the challenge within a larger topic and encourage kids to develop their ideas through an iterative process over the course of the activity. Throughout the program, kids will enhance their problem solving, collaboration and making skills, and with persistence, they will learn to think big and deeply about the world and people around them.

Students will have the opportunity to develop ideas using hands-on modeling and making. They will also learn to use software and fabrication tools that allow for prototyping and iterating to hone their unique designs. They will learn to constructively support each other’s projects and work together to create a series of storytelling adventures!
