The Office of Service-Learning will hold a free workshop for anyone who wants to know more about integrating experiential learning into coursework in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, fields.
“Building Civic and Community Engagement into STEM Coursework” will be held Oct. 27 from 10 a.m. to noon in the Reading Room of the Miller Learning Center.
Representatives of the Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities Center for Innovation-South at UNC-Asheville will conduct the workshop. Presenters will share what SENCER is doing with courses across the U.S., integrating real-world, community issues into STEM-related disciplines. They also will lead discussions about lessons learned, effective practice and ideas for implementing similar work here at UGA.
