(5) Big Ideas from the Podcast: 

• when visiting NuVu, you see high-visibility “works in progress” and “a culture of visualizing and sharing process” where it becomes possible to see how an idea evolves over time, where you can “see everything that a person is thinking”
• NuVu instructors don’t often “know where things are headed” most of the time, but they are experts at building a foundation to help students know how to think
• projects like “cyborg enhancement” are about enhancing human abilities by imagining both the future and also deep diving into diverse cultural legacies
• how their students figure out that “learning rests on their shoulders” once they begin to “honor the strength of their work”.
• they architecturally designed their spaces “to shift over time”.
