FUSE is a STEAM education program housed within Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy that facilitates student exploration and learning through hands-on, interest-driven challenges inspired by real-world STEAM and design practices. In FUSE, students work in a studio-like environment, learn through making, and develop 21st century skills such as problem solving, persistence and communication. The Mazda Foundation’s funding established FUSE Studios in 10 elementary schools across Greater Los Angeles and Orange County, CA. The program launched in these schools in the fall of 2021. In 2022, the Mazda Foundation’s FUSE challenge will launch across the FUSE network.
