Happy new year everyone and hope your 2026 is starting off well! I want to share a PD opportunity that we will be offering again this year at Nueva. Hope we will see some of you folks there!
Registration for
✨ Design Thinking Institute ✨
is now OPEN!!
🌈 Monday Jun 15 to Thursday Jun 18, 2026 🌈
8:30pm - 4:30pm
@ The Nueva School, San Mateo Campus
Note: Financial assistance awards are available for educators who do not have access to adequate professional development funds. We also offer group discounts for educators coming from the same school. Please contact insti...@nuevaschool.org to get that process started.
The Design Thinking Institute (DTI) is our annual summer institute dedicated to sharing design thinking practices and processes with other educators.
We welcome all educators interested in incorporating design thinking, or aspects of design thinking, into their teaching practice as well as those who are already using design thinking and want to further deepen their practice. We recognize that folks are coming from different settings and different levels of prior experience with design thinking, so we also build the schedule in such a way that allows for some differentiation to make sure the DTI experience is useful and relevant for YOU.
DTI is NOT a traditional conference where attendees choose particular sessions to attend. Rather, DTI is intended to give attendees the time, space, and resources to dive deeply into hands-on curriculum design work integrating design thinking that attendees can bring back to their schools. Therefore, individuals should plan to attend the entirety of the institute in order to fully reap the benefits of the experience. Individuals who are not able to attend the entire institute are encouraged to consider attending when they are able to participate fully.

Questions? Email me directly! I hope you will be able to join us and help us share this with educators who may be interested!
OR if you are someone who has attended a past DTI, please feel free to reply to this to offer up some insight on how DTI can be useful to educators in different settings and roles! 😉
