HANDS-ON LEARNING: Student-led exploration drives learning at the Athenian School’s new industrial arts maker space. In the Mithun-designed Makers Studio, an array of tools and electronics support student-led projects including an FAA approved two-seat plane made by hand, a bio-digester that makes methane from compost, a mobile refrigeration unit with electronic generation for third world countries and even a scalable bionic heart and prosthetic limb. Exciting to see the innovations happening here! 📷: Joe Fletcher

Maker labs open doors to STEM careers. Currently under construction at Seattle University, the new Center for Science and Innovation aims to break down academic silos in sciences and engineering, and to make STEM learning relevant to the entire student population by placing the disciplines within a welcoming, student-centered hub for social gathering and events. The staffed innovation lab is an interdisciplinary and inclusive environment that encourages curiosity and exploration among all students to activate more diverse student engagement with the sciences.
