Saturday Engineering Enrichment and Design
School (SEEDS)
in
conjunction with the construction of the STEM building at
the University of Ottawa
Summer,
Fall, and Winter Sessions
inspiring youth to science, technology, engineering, art,
math, and medicine
(STEAM2)
education
High school students are novice designers but
have a limited knowledge background and experiences in design
thinking. This limited experiential background makes gathering
information about wide range of disciplines even more critical
for their success.
The main purpose of the SEEDS is to enhance the
interest of high school students in STEAM2 topics
through the development of creative thinking and prepare
students for success at university and beyond.
The best way to develop STEAM2
practitioners is through context: placing actual
transdisciplinary problems in front of students early through
creating the proper learning environment.
SEEDS will provide students with the opportunity
to observe the concepts, processes, and tools used to solve real
life problems, and develop the personal and professional
attributes essential to being an independent-thinking leader in
this technological society.
Students will be shown the difference between
studying engineering and becoming an engineer with hands-on,
minds-on experiences that happen early and often during their
high school education.
We are looking for 20 students to participate in
this 6-week pilot program.
