During the summer months, the New Learning Institute runs one and two week programs that are fun, deeply engaging, and give young people a chance to direct their own learning, explore digital media production and new subject matter, and collaborate with each other and adult mentors. Because it’s summer, the New Learning Institute’s programs are relaxed and exploratory. Still, young people in NLI programs solve problems, plan and execute projects, and develop the kinds of team building-skills that will carry them into adulthood.
