Collaborative Projects

Interdepartmental and Group Works

At any given moment, dozens of collaborations are happening at the Academy. From corporate-sponsored courses with companies like Pixar, NASA, and General Motors, to small study groups meeting up to practice drawing, to an online group of students from different countries designing better headphones.

In each case, students learn to empathize with others, collaborate across disciplines, solve problems creatively, adapt to changing circumstances, and persist in the face of obstacles. These skills help prepare students to thrive in their future professions.
