Computer Science • Kendall Instructional Design and Technology • Emily Educational Psychology • Faculty Team • School of Education (SOE) • Liesl Baum • Phyllis Leary Newbill • Teri Finn • Advisors • Dr. Mitzi Vernon – School of Architecture and Design • Dr. Kathy Cennamo – SOE • Dr. Kelly Parkes – SOE • Dr. Heather Moorefield-Lang – College Librarian • Misty Culler- Middle School Teach • Sarah Gerrol- High School Teacher

4. Design Problem To use creative technologies to create a product of the arts that can be used to teach science.

5. Process • Research • Design/Development • Testing/Implementation • Kindergarten to College • Glenvar Middle School • Video Game/Graphic Design course collaboration • Review/Adjustments • Final Outcomes • Website • Kit

6. Change over Time (C/T) challenges students to creatively represent learning in a tangible form; through the process of creating paper art sculptures to represent abstract concepts. C/T, a project-based learning activity, encourages students to think critically and creatively as they discover firsthand how art and science inform each other

7. Support Mae Jemison – astronaut, doctor, art collector, and dancer– advocates for integration of art and science. Jemison calls on educators to teach both art and science, and to create bold thinkers through teaching intuition and logic. Mae Jemison’s TED Talk

17. Reflection What happened to the paper as you continued to use it over and over again? What do you think would happen to the paper if you continued to fold it? Can you think of other examples of objects that change over time? Did you have a hard time visualizing some of the careers? Do you think careers change over time? Do you think a person’s career path changes over time? What other observations did you make?
