STEAMLAB: Phase One: General Concepts
GOALS:
Create a cool and interesting destination that invites students to explore, create, learn and collaborate.
• EXPLORE: Create a destination that is bright, inviting, open, and encourages students to explore all skills and equipment.
• CREATE: Provide students with open spaces and opportunities to make “cool stuff” together!
• LEARN: Develop opportunities for students to learn something new.
• COLLABORATE: Redesign the Maker Wing to feel inclusive and promote cross-collaboration between all disciplines and skills.
PROGRAMMING OPPORTUNITIES:
What hooks the students to come in and explore?
What triggers the students to take a course/come in and work/try something new?
• INSPIRATION: Rotating completed project samples on display featuring various mediums used.
• CONNECTION: Monthly event calendar paired with infographics and diagrams demonstrating cross-collaboration
between departments.
• ACTION: Opportunities for multi-disciplinary team collaborations through competitions (local and national).
• CONNECTION: Monthly student facilitated “show, tell and teach” moments

STEAMLAB: Collaboration Storyboard
SAM: Textile Design
JAMIE: Art Studio
Sam is taking a Textile Design course, she
wants to design a wood faceted LED dress
for the Spring Fashion Show. She has
benchmarked images and is now ready to
design. She would like to sketch out some
ideas but needs a little help.
“Hey Jamie! I saw your work was featured in
the Ideation Lab. I was wondering if you
would like to help with me create some
sketches for the Spring Fashion Show?”
JOSH: Engineering I.D. & Robotics
“...I can help you with the LED light strips
that could be sewn into the dress.”
DAN: Fabrication
“...could you show me how to use the CNC
machine? I’m designing a dress that is
designed using wood.”
NICK: Media Production
“Hey Sam! How about I document your
teams process and make you a mini-documentary
for the showcase!”
“I want to create
something no one
has ever seen before!”

JAMIE: Art Studio
Josh is taking a Industrial Design course
and he would like to design and fabricate a
bike that he has been designing in his head
for a few semesters. He has now gathered
his ideas and his team and is ready to build!
“ I’m taking a Adobe class this semester how
about adding a cool logo and graphics?
I can help you with some branding aspects!”
SAM: Textile Design
“Josh, I would love to help! This looks so
cool! How about I help you with the seat
fabrication?”
DAN: Fabrication
“Dan! I’m working on a bike design, I’ll
need some help with the fabricate, you in?”
NICK: Media Production
“This is such a cool idea! We can shoot
a informational video so you can
get this on KickStarter!”
“This bike is going to
change the way people
experience travel!”
