NewBoCo &
Iowa BIG

Iowa BIG is an initiative-based high school experience created by the community-building effort of The Gazette Companies and The Cedar Rapids Community School District. Two educators took the community’s core design principles and created Iowa BIG.

NewBoCo & Iowa BIG
NewBoCo hosts the Iowa BIG school in Vault Coworking & Collaboration Space. This places Iowa BIG’s students and teachers in the innovation hub of Cedar Rapids working side by side with entrepreneurs, artists, founders, developers, creatives, and designers. NewBoCo and Iowa BIG have collaborated on a number of initiatives through multiple NewBoCo programs.
