At any given moment, dozens of collaborations are happening at the Academy. From corporate-sponsored courses with companies like Pixar, NASA, and General Motors designing games, cars, and products, to a group of students on campus and on Zoom working in VR to design our world in 2040.
In each case, students learn to collaborate across disciplines, solve problems creatively in teams, adapt to changing circumstances, and persist in the face of challenges.
