PROGRAM ROADMAP
Students with the Evolve Innovation Center will engage in an experience that will transform their perspectives. The environment will challenge their critical thinking skills, enhance their creativity, and prepare them for the limitless opportunities of an evolving world.
Our program, inspired by MIT's approach, emphasizes a hands-on, project-based pedagogy to engage and inspire students in the realm of 3D printing design. The curriculum aims to engage students from various backgrounds, bridge the gender and minority gaps in the field and empower students to pursue their interests and careers in STEM with confidence.
Program Objectives:
- Introduction to 3D Printing: Participants will gain an understanding of 3D printing technology, its applications, and its potential impact on the world
- Design Thinking: Participants will learn the fundamentals of design thinking, focusing on prototyping and design processes.
- 3D Modeling: Students will be introduced to 3D modeling software, where they will learn to create and modify three-dimensional digital models.
- Design Thinking: Students will explore key design concepts, such as proportion, balance, symmetry, and aesthetics, to create visually appealing and functional designs
- Problem Solving: Students will learn to become problem solvers and will work to find innovative solutions to real-world problems of their choice.
- Collaboration and Communication: Participants will learn to work collaboratively in teams, establish better communication habits and strengthen their ability to share ideas.
Upon successful completion of the program students will walk away with:
- A solid understanding of 3D printing technology and its applications
- Proficiency in using 3D modeling software to create and modify digital designs
