OUR MISSION
Norfolk Academy’s Engineering, Design, and Innovation (EDI) Fellows recognize the potential for engineering and design to promote equity and build sustainable communities. EDI Fellows collaborate with local and broader community partners to identify challenges faced by the community and develop innovative responses. By engaging in the iterative nature of the engineering process and investigating creative solutions to problems, EDI Fellows learn through practice and cultivate values of civic-minded leaders.
