WHERE: 280 Locke Drive, Marlborough, MA 01752
WHEN: 4:00 – 6:00 PM; Friday, June 10, 2022

Join us as we celebrate the successful culmination of our first year as a new school that uses human centered design as a foundation for innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership. During the event, our students will share how this experience comes to life at NEIA with a dazzling array of new product innovations that they have imagined, invented, designed, and produced. Each team of students will present their company’s mission and have their products available for purchase. There will also be a Share Gallery to feature student work from each subject area this year. Guests will remain spellbound by the creativity on display and have an opportunity to enjoy light refreshments and music during their visit. Finally, as the evening comes to an end, NEIA will feature a special keynote address by Jon Hirschtick, Co-founder and former CEO of Onshape and SolidWorks and former member of the MIT Blackjack Team. Jon is an exceptional, multi-faceted leader whose work is renowned in the world of Computer-Aided Design (CAD). We hope you will join us to celebrate a full year of design, innovation, and entrepreneurship at NEIA!

NEIA is proud to announce that the NEIA Board of Trustees has formed a senior advisory group to counsel us on areas of improvement in all aspects of the school and to serve as a resource as we refine our curriculum and program.

Welcome Rick Hardy, Amir Reza, and Erdin Beshimov. We are so excited to work with you!

After joining us here at NEIA, Ricky Hardy says, "Some years ago, when I first talked with my friend Jane Du about her vision–to build a school that would be a laboratory for testing new ideas about education, a model for schools across the world, and a place where kids could thrive–I was excited. Now, after seeing NEIA take shape over the past two years, I am even more thrilled to be here. It is a privilege to be around students and teachers once again, and to feel that unmistakable energy of a true learning community, one whose values–empathy, creativity, and community–are ones I deeply believe in. I also believe that the world needs NEIA because it is built on a vital principle: that a school must have the capacity to evolve, to respond to changes in the world around it, and thereby to inspire students to be thoughtful stewards of that world. NEIA is just such a school, and I am honored to be a part of it."

Yesterday, Matt Forcier of LMV Productions spoke to Baldev’s Entrepreneurship class. He presented his real-world experience as a film production business owner. Matt shared with students his process of team building, business development, and, most importantly, believing in yourself. His message was taking every opportunity to be involved in your business and focus on what you are passionate about.
