The Arts
The Studios.
Imagine it, model it, prototype it, test it, refine it. Our studios are where ideas get built.
Design thinking
Every wrong attempt is a step forward.
“Every wrong attempt discarded is a step forward,” said Thomas Edison. Our studios give students room to practice design thinking: imagining, modeling, prototyping, testing and refining.
Whether they are building battle-ready robots, detailed clay vessels or original podcasts, students learn to experiment and adapt after setbacks, in the studio, the classroom and beyond.
Academic courses, Intersession, Exploratory opportunities and co-curricular activities all use these spaces.
