How Space Shapes Learning Outcomes for Students in the 21st Century
SHARE Boston teamed up with the Project Kaleidoscope - an informal national alliance working to build strong learning environments for undergraduate students in mathematics, engineering, and the various fields of science – and the Center for Balance by Design for a workshop on: How Space Shapes Learning Outcomes for Students in the 21st Century. The conference was lead by Donna Denio and Victoria Sirianni of Center for Balance by Design and supported by Carlotta Estermann.
Around 80 participants took part in this lively workshop. One part with key note speeches and a series of group work was located. The workshop began at Harvard University Graduate School of Design with plenary discussions on theories and trends that should be considered in shaping new spaces for learning. The core of the workshop was work of teams in exploring some of those theories and trends in the context of their specific institutional needs and vision, followed by a general reporting out session. SHARE hosted the group for the last session with a videoconference link to EPFL Lausanne/Switzerland and a presentation by Professor Jeffrey Huang. The discussion ended with an explanation of preliminary sent in photos by the participants of their vision of an ideal learning environment.
