Identifying Outreach DetailsBefore jumping into activity development, it is important to understand the details of the event.The desired objective(s), location, time frame, budget, number of participants, and participants’age range are all important pieces of information required to shape an effective and appropriateactivity.[13] Misunderstanding or misinterpreting any of these details could produce anineffective activity that squanders resources and provide an inadequate experience forparticipants. For example, 5th and 6th graders would need more explanation and completion timeto successfully complete a project that was designed for 7th and 8th grade

We developed assignments--Projects and Provocations (more on thoselater) keeping in mind IDEO’s Mindset elements of Empathy, Iteration, Creative Confidence,Making, Embracing Ambiguity, and Learning from Failure. Course activities also incorporateddesign thinking concepts of Ideation and Implementation methods to evaluate research, defineproblems, establish audience/s, and develop solutions.

, ismore advantageous than traditional lecturing in improving student performance across the STEMfields and across all class sizes. This aligns well with the need in the engineering mechanicsclasses to engage student in qualitative judgement activities for active learning.Several studies have been conducted on demonstrations for engineering courses. Vander Schaafand Klosky [12], Welch and Klosky [13] presented demonstrations for solid mechanics to linktheory to the students’ natural knowledge and excite interest in the course. Paul. S.

One of the authors began teaching an “Introductionto 3D Printing & Design” class in the summer of 2016, and the C-STEM purchased threeFusion3 F-400S’s, an FDM machine, specifically for the class (see Figure 11). The C-STEM hasallowed the Library to keep one of the machines on loan. The F400-S was chosen because itallows the use of a wide range of printing materials such as PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG,Polycarbonate, PC-ABS, Flexible, Polyesters, Acrylic, Soluble, and more.43 Its build volume of14.0 in x 14.0 in x 12.60 in (355 x 355 x 320 mm) is also more than two times larger than theLulzbot TAZ 5 and five times larger than the FlashForge.
