Sticky Innovation 2016
This class represented a cross college collaboration between DAAP (College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning) and CEAS (College of Engineering and Applied Sciences) at the University of Cincinnati. In order to solve complex (wicked) problems, this class encouraged us to purposefully create an inclusive, diverse culture of inquiry at the creative intersections of art and science. The class was made up of students with all different academic backgrounds and focuses. We worked together to find wholesome, robust solutions to the disappearing bee problem. We worked to combine creativity and technicality to be better problem solvers.
I absolutely loved my experience in the class! As a chemical engineering student, I appreciated the practicality of the course and the ability to hone some of my technical skills, including learning how to model in Solidworks and then use a 3D printer to print out that model (My team's "Ideal Bee" is pictured above)! As a creative right-brained lover of the arts, I appreciated being able to work within the realm of art as well. I really enjoyed learning ways to integrate creativity into technical problem solving!
For our final project, my team created an interactive app called Colony Collapse. The goal of our app was to make a fun, interactive game that would educate players on the different causes of Colony Collapse Disorder as well as show them how these causes collectively worked together to create a wicked problem requiring complex solutions.We wanted to make an interactive
