Makerspace Leadership and Outreach

Course Number: SPP 597M
Course Description:

In this interdisciplinary, project-based seminar, we will examine innovative approaches to problem-solving through ‘makerspace principles.’ This year, ideally -- but not necessarily in all cases -- we’d like you to work on a project that addresses a problem or a challenge listed in one of United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

 

The main goal of this seminar is for you to either continue to work on an existing project or start a new one and make progress on the project (under the constraints of a 1-cr class).  The intent is to engage your creative problem-solving skills and, ideally, work within teams toward a shared solution.
