1 2020 - 2021 “VIRTUAL LANDSCAPES” Programme 1 STEM CENTRE THINK, CREATE, INNOVATE! STEM stands for “science, technology, engineering and mathematics”: it suggests an integrated approach to these domains whereby science and mathematics are learnt through interdisciplinary projects that use technology and the principles of engineering. Although interdisciplinary learning should not be restricted to these areas, STEM provides particularly useful opportunities for meaningful, innovative practice that reflects the increasingly integrated nature of real-world scientific research.” (Guiding Principles for Learning, p.19) Coverpage: photo by Daniel Mateo (LGB Secondary Student) 2 DONORS & PARTNERS DONORS PARTNERS 3 editorial EDITORIAL La fin de l’année académique 2019-2020 nous a laissé des traces d’une pandémie sans précédent. Celle-ci a créé de nouveaux enjeux mais a aussi renforcé l’interconnectivité et la solidarité planétaire ; et ce pour transformer nos vies à tout jamais. C’est un nouveau monde qui ouvre ses portes à la science, la technologie et l’innovation ; c’est une nouvelle réalité qui nous demande de réfléchir et d’agir. Qu’en serait-il de notre monde si nous pouvions créer n’importe quel paysage et être n’importe qui pour l’explorer ? Pour l’année académique 2020- 2021, notre programme “Virtual Landscapes” va vous laisser voyager dans un monde virtuel où tout est possible. Un monde virtuel est un environnement de communauté en ligne sur ordinateur, conçu et partagé par des individus afin qu’ils puissent interagir dans un monde simulé et construit sur mesure. Les utilisateurs interagissent les uns avec les autres de façon ‘naturelle’ dans ce monde simulé, en utilisant des modèles graphiques textuels, bidimensionnels ou tridimensionnels appelés avatars. Les avatars créés à l’aide de l’imagerie infographique (CGI) ou autre technologie ont la capacité de se déplacer et d’interagir. Les mondes virtuels / la réalité virtuelle (expérience simulée similaire ou complètement différente du monde réel - aussi en réalité augmentée et en réalité mixte) d’aujourd’hui sont conçus pour le divertissement, la vie sociale, l’éducation, la formation diverse, la résolution de problèmes, et à d’autres fins. Du point de vue didactique, le monde virtuel convient à l’enseignement de concepts liés à l’identité, la connectivité, l’interaction, l’environnement, la transformation, l’immersion et plusieurs autres. Le programme que vous offre le STEM Centre pour l’année académique 2020-2021, ainsi que l’événement interdisciplinaire phare, le défilé de mode STEM «Mythes & Légendes» (reporté de mars 2020), développés autour d’un monde mythique et virtuel, serviront d’ancres pour la découverte d’un système planétaire vivant basé sur plusieurs constatations écologiques, climatologiques, géologiques et biologiques. Sur ce, avec toutes les opportunités proposées, nous espérons que des discussions animées, des actions engagées et des projets innovateurs en résultent! Marie-France Labelle Directrice / STEM Centre Director 4 PRESENTATION PRESENTATION The STEM Centre was conceptualized by ABCP Architecture in collaboration with INITIAL, EPFL and the LGB STEM team. The three goals behind the design of the space were to facilitate cross-discipline communication and productive collaboration, to emphasize non-formal non- traditional teaching and learning (inverted classroom), and to encourage divergence in thinking and experimenting through hands-on authentic learning opportunities. It was also important to foster, in an extra-ordinary space, every student’s learning journey (feel, ask, imagine, plan, create, discuss, reflect, share) and to develop competences such as collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and communication. After several years of planning, the STEM Centre was inaugurated at La Grande Boissière campus in September 2016. The STEM Centre is an open space divided up in 4 major areas of approximately 102m2: the Idea Lab (idealization, collaboration and creativity space), the Innovation Lab (critical thinking, building and developing space), the Bot Lab (robotics, prototyping and testing space) and the Bubble (implementation, reflection and presentation space). The STEM Centre is primarily a place where students can expand their thinking by creating and solving open-ended problems involving robotics, electronics, programming and design. With bright open spaces to imagine new worlds, wall-to-wall whiteboards to brainstorm and hypothesize, and state-of- the-art equipment to explore and experiment, the STEM Centre creates the ideal atmosphere for students to dream, invent and keep up with advancements in an ever-changing world. Combining different disciplines, but also different year groups, we aim to merge various elements of the curriculum to encourage innovative ways of thinking and building. As a result, every day is a success as our students become ever more curious about the world around them, and come up with projects that captivate both their classmates and teachers. In close collaboration with the Centre des arts on the campus, we marry the digital arts, design, the sciences and the mathematics bringing together the best possible conditions for learning, creating, experimenting, thinking, and innovating. The fundamental aim of the STEM Centre is to host 21st century learning experiences that move away from traditional, theoretical, single-subject learning, and towards greater creativity through critical thinking, information literacy and transdisciplinary, project-based learning. To further this aim, we have developed projects with key academic institutions, such as the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE), as well as leading organizations in the technology and engineering sectors, such as CERN/IPPOG, Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN/OFEV), Monada, le CEDRE, Hands on Technology (LEGO®), ITU and others. The STEM Centre, along with our partners, enable students to gain understanding of big ideas in science and mathematics, key STEM methodologies and core STEM skills. The STEM Centre has become the headquarters for a various number of pedagogical projects, events, enrichment courses / professional development, workshops, trips, and extra-curricular 5 PRESENTATION activities (ECAs)/clubs. Since its opening, it has enabled our students from 5 to 18 years old to gain new skills in areas such as programming, electronics, robotics, CAD/3D printing and laser cutting, space exploration, digital mapping, product design and creation. STEM projects are not just about science, technology, engineering and mathematics; they are also about ethics, sustainability, creativity and problem solving, so, when in the STEM Centre “Think, Create, Innovate!
