NexUp Studios is a creative innovation hub built to give young people access to the tools, mentorship, and real-world experience needed to thrive in today’s creative economy. We operate at the intersection of storytelling, technology, and entrepreneurship—transforming classrooms into studios and students into creators. Through hands-on programs in film, digital design, fashion, and emerging technologies, NexUp empowers students from underserved communities to develop their voice, build confidence, and create work that reflects their world.

Middle school is a pivotal moment in this process. It’s the age when young people begin forming identity, confidence, and beliefs about what they are capable of—but it’s also when access to creative and technical opportunities often disappears. Early exposure to real tools, creative problem-solving, and industry mentorship helps students see themselves as creators before self-doubt, social pressure, or limited pathways take hold. NexUp meets students at this moment, pairing education with real production environments and long-term pathways into ownership and opportunity. We don’t just teach skills—we build pipelines, nurture agency, and help young creators see themselves as leaders, innovators, and culture-shapers.

NexUp Studios empowers the next generation of creators by combining creativity, technology, and mentorship at a critical moment in youth development—turning ideas into skills, stories into opportunity, and access into lasting impact.
