What will vehicles look like in the far future? What will the systems that support these vehicles look like? Will transportation continue to be more and more efficient? What if future transportation systems could also be delightful, fun, or helpful to society in new and surprising ways? These are the questions students will explore in the Transitopia Studio by NuVu. 

In this studio, students will be constructing sci-fi and futuristic vehicles of their imagination while learning about renewable energy systems such as solar, hydro, and wind power. They will imagine the systems and infrastructure that will change the way vehicles move, how they are designed, and who they will transport, and then design new modes of transportation based on their imaginations.

Students will experience the hands-on joy of iterative physical prototyping and explore how motors, batteries, engines, radio signals, types of chassis, and wheels can help them achieve moveable speculative transportation devices. They'll push their vehicles to the creative limit with innovative and unusual designs! Then, it’s off to the final exhibition, where students will demonstrate their prototypes and share their vision of the future of transportation with the audience.
