Carey School of Business Children’s museums provide a place where children can experience hands-on learning along with their peers. These museum visits are a critical part in child development as they provide access to concepts that may not be taught in-depth in the classroom, and gives them an interactive experience in which to immerse themselves. Interactive design within the realm of child education is a highly useful concept, especially for the education of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). In addition to this, collaboration within a transdisciplinary environment is equally important for college students to develop critical hard and soft skills within the corporate environment. STEAMtank, an opportunity within the Design School’s InnovationSpace, aims to combine both of these learning elements together. Within this program, students are placed on transdisciplinary teams and are tasked with researching, ideating, prototyping, and ultimately building a mobile exhibit that teaches children about certain topics within STEAM. These exhibits will be open to the public for one day at the end of the semester, and be available to transport to different schools, science fairs, museums, and other potential opportunities.
