STEAM + Service Learning: An Initiative to Improve Communities and Increase Opportunities

Archived Webcast - April 26, 2016

STEAM is quickly catching on as the “new trend” in Education.  However, what if this teaching approach could be used to increase diversity in STEM fields?  Dr. Quigley is examining just that by connecting STEAM to Service Learning as a way for students to explore their communities.  In this presentation, Dr. Quigley will describe STEAM, the connections to diversity, and how STEAM and Service Learning are a natural fit.

Clemson Collaborations in Service-Learning Webcast

Clemson University Collaborations in Service-Learning is sponsored by the Clemson Service Alliance. The Service Alliance promotes the use of community service and service-learning by Clemson faculty in classes with both undergraduate and graduate students in all major disciplinary areas. The Collaborations radio webcasts are an opportunity to hear from some of our Clemson Service Alliance Faculty Fellows, their students, and their community partners about  service-learning projects around the state of S.C., and to learn about the impact of these service-learning projects on the community and on student learning outcomes.  In 2015-2016, we will be focusing on service –learning classes in five different disciplinary areas:  Planning and Landscape Architecture, English, Languages, Teacher Education, and Nursing. Thank you for participating, and we hope that service-learning practitioners in both K-12 and higher education will find these workshops very helpful in the course development, implementation, and evaluation process.
