At NuVu Summer, students gain lifelong skills, from creative problem-solving to collaboration with industry experts — all while tackling challenges that matter. NuVu’s hands-on STEM and arts programs for middle and high school students use a studio model to foster teamwork, innovation, and technical skills. Students tackle real-world problems through exciting hands-on studios like Bot V Bot, Future Couture, Tiny House, Battlebotics, Escape Room, Startup Labs, Pet Products, Exploration Rovers, E-Go Karts, Creative Coding, and more.
NuVu offers two day programs: a middle school program for ages 11–13 at NuVu High School in Central Square in Cambridge and a high school program for ages 14–18 held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This year, NuVu is also offering a two-week residential high school program on MIT’s campus during session two.
Each two-week session focuses on projects rooted in design, technology, art, and engineering, guided by expert coaches from Harvard University, MIT, and Rhode Island School of Design. With personalized attention and a dynamic environment, every day is engaging and fun! Financial aid is available, and NuVu offers discounts for multiple session sign-ups, siblings, and returning students. Check out NuVu for a summer of innovation and discovery.
