STEAM 321 - STEAM Engineering Explorations
Requirement Fulfillment: Fulfills a requirement for the STEAM Education Minor
Delivery: Lec/Lab
This course is to foster interest and engage students in STEAM success through real-life robotics. Robotics is all about STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) and a broad spectrum of the arts (visual arts, language arts, social studies, music, culture, and more). Students will use the Lego Mindstorms Robotics system, which includes the EV3 Programming Software, to learn basic and intermediate concepts of programming. Students will design and build programmable robots through an iterative process of engineering design to solve various problems in real-life situations (or simulations of these). These learning experiences will set the foundation for building the imagination and creativity that are fundamental to STEAM. For the culminating project, students will develop the ability to design engaging STEAM learning experiences and bring STEAM concepts alive by creating a fully developed action plan for launching a maker space program. A maker space is a creative prototyping workspace where makers gather to share knowledge, experiment, create, tinker and learn and can be situated in a variety of settings, such as classrooms, libraries, after-school programs and science museums. This course is open to all students.
