Making Space: Minoritized Youth as Creators and Makers for Change
October 4, 2023 at 6:00pm – 7:30pm EDT
Huntington Beard Crouse Hall (HBC), Gifford Auditorium

James Haywood Rolling, Jr. (School of Education / VPA)

This interactive lecture / demonstration focuses on ways that STEM-rich makerspaces and digital technologies can be generative spaces, particularly for minoritized youth. Immersive activities include a VR (virtual reality) ‘cave tour’ and digital audio production featuring student deejays, musicians, composers, and podcasters.
STEM-based knowledge is useful in creative expression, to foster community and belonging, and as a means to work collectively on “problems worth solving” (Tan, 2017).
This event is part of the Syracuse University Humanities Center’s 20th annual Syracuse Symposium, focused on a “Landscapes” theme for 2023-2024.
