Using a seismograph she made out of \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.knex.com\/\u0022\u003EK\u0026rsquo;NEX\u003C\/a\u003E pieces and \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.hummingbirdkit.com\/\u0022\u003EHummingbird Robotics Kits\u003C\/a\u003E as a model, the students built their own devices. Because Tierney left the design to the students, \u0026ldquo;the seismographs all looked different, which was very cool,\u0026rdquo; she said.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETierney also assisted the all-girls after-school program \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/technovationchallenge.org\/\u0022\u003ETechnovation\u003C\/a\u003E. She helped girls build their own apps using \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.appinventor.org\/\u0022\u003EApp Inventor\u003C\/a\u003E. In May, the students presented their apps to information technology and marketing professionals at \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.atlantapublicschools.us\/site\/default.aspx?PageType=3\u0026amp;ModuleInstanceID=67557\u0026amp;ViewID=7b97f7ed-8e5e-4120-848f-a8b4987d588f\u0026amp;RenderLoc=0\u0026amp;FlexDataID=65491\u0026amp;PageID=11943\u0022\u003EChick-fil-A\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech alum and civil engineer Arne worked with a Hollis STEM teacher to develop a robotics activity for fifth and sixth graders, similar to the Discovery network series \u003Cem\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/battlebots.com\/\u0022\u003EBattleBots\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;We came up with \u0026ldquo;SumoBots,\u0026rdquo; Arne said. It features two robots trying to push each other out of a ring. Unlike \u003Cem\u003EBattleBots\u003C\/em\u003E, this style of robotics does not damage the robots or require frequent replacement of parts. Students can use higher quality controllers, \u0026ldquo;rather than having to patch together cheaper parts that may not work,\u0026rdquo; Arne said.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMeanwhile, Richards worked with the art teacher. A teaching artist herself, Richards learned that most K-12 students do not know how structures work. At Hollis, she assembled kits demonstrating cardboard construction techniques, which students applied to a project she likes to think of as \u0026ldquo;Art meets engineering.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Most of the houses in this neighborhood are craftsman bungalows,\u0026rdquo; Richards said. So she researched the craftsman movement and the features of typical craftsman houses. The art teacher presented the information to the students. Then, the students imagined what the houses could look like if they were renovated.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe students designed their renovations on architecture paper brought by two students from the Georgia Tech \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/arch.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003ESchool of Architecture\u003C\/a\u003E. \u0026ldquo;The kids really enjoyed drawing on that and working with the rulers,\u0026rdquo; Richards said. She saw that the students felt good about themselves when they managed to assemble and paint their cardboard houses according to their own vision.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAll four innovators-in-residence worked on a final project based on the film \u003Cem\u003EBlack Panther\u003C\/em\u003E. Inspired by the use of wearable technology in the fictional Kingdom of Wakanda, the project incorporated art, 3D printing, and coding.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;We came up with this Wakandian fashion idea,\u0026rdquo; Richards said. She incorporated \u003Cem\u003EBlack Panther\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026rsquo;s use of West African symbols known as Adinkra by finding analogs for the six \u0026ldquo;Habits of Hollis\u0026rdquo; \u0026ndash; Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Empathy, Perseverance, and Self-Discipline.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn art class, the students used 3D-printed Adinkra stamps to transfer the symbols onto cloth panels. The panels were fashioned into costumes that incorporate brooches, which the students programmed to light up.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe \u003Cem\u003EBlack Panther \u003C\/em\u003Eproject encompassed cultural studies, design, and coding. \u0026quot;When you bring all that together, now you\u0026#39;re seeing a much more real-world example,\u0026rdquo; Snelling said. \u0026ldquo;Multidisciplinary types of work are becoming more and more common. The best websites have graphic designers \u0026mdash; so it\u0026rsquo;s not just code; it\u0026rsquo;s art. The more we build those kind of learning experiences, the more they directly translate into work you could be doing in the future.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERosemary Pitrone \u003C\/strong\u003E- CEISMC Communications\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECEISMC is currently seeking four dynamic individuals for its 2018-19 Innovator-in-Residence cohort.
