Free Community Speaker: Saeed Arida on "Studio Learning at NuVu"

The Meadowbrook School is pleased to welcome Saeed Arida, Ph.D. to lead a discussion on, “Studio Learning at Nuvu: exploring a new approach to learning that empowers and engages students.” Dr. Arida is the Founder and Chief Excitement Officer at NuVu Studio, a magnet innovation center for young minds in Cambridge. Prior to NuVu, he worked as an architect and designer working on projects for MIT, LG, Samsung, and Microsoft. He received his bachelor of architecture from Damascus University and then studied design computation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he received a SMArchS and PhD. Dr. Arida’s research examined the intricacies of the creative process to understand what creativity is and how an educational environment can nurture creative learning. The architectural studio pedagogy informed this research that eventually evolved into NuVu Studio, where students learn in a hands-on environment with coaches who help students create projects and move through many, many iterations. This event is free and open to the public; advance registration is required.  Please register today at meadowbrook-ma.org to reserve your spot!
