BB&A Statement

BB&A Statement Beyond Bits and Atoms teaches students to design, build, and critique educational technologies. The class is structured around four big questions, each of which leads us into 

How does learning work?                                Constructivism

What tools and environments are effective in supporting learning?                Constructionism 

How can                                                             Critical pedagogy

How does technology shape                             Technology design

Beyond Bits & Atoms is structured as two concurrent classes; students are required without exception to enroll in both. In the lab, students gain firsthand experience with constructionist learning with digital fabrication tools such as laser cutters, 3D printers, microcontrollers.
