ITS KIND CREATIVE LEARNING SPACE

00:00:09.676 --> 00:00:16.349
FEATURING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
SUCH AS 3D PRINTERS, A COMPUTER
PROGRAMMING LAB AND AUDIO/VISUAL
PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES.

5
00:00:16.349 --> 00:00:22.288
THE DISTRICT SAYS THE SPACE WILL
BENEFIT NOT ONLY STUDENTS, BUT
ALSO INDUSTRY PARTNERS AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

00:00:22.288 --> 00:00:29.496
IN OUR (I) ON EDUCATION SEGMENT

INNOVATION AND DESIGN HUB, BRIAN
BULMER IS HERE TO EXPLAIN HOW IT

EXPERIENCES FOR STUDENTS.

8
00:00:40.173 --> 00:00:46.780
>>: THIS CREATIVE IDEA HOW DID
THIS COME ABOUT?
>>: MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS
CAME ABOUT BETWEEN A

9
00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:55.555
CONVERSATION WITH THE DISTRICT
AND KAREN YOUNG THAT SAID WHAT
ABOUT AN INNOVATION HUB TO
REALLY GET KIDS EXCITED ABOUT

10
00:00:55.555 --> 00:01:00.860
LEARNING, DEVELOPING DESIGN
THINKING SPACE A THINK TANK IF
YOU WELL FOR HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS AND GIVE THEM AN

11
00:01:00.860 --> 00:01:09.269
OPPORTUNITY TO BRING SOME OF
THEIR CREATIVE LEARNING AND
KNOWLEDGE BASE INTO THAT SPACE
AND REALLY APPLY IT TO SOME OF

12
00:01:09.269 --> 00:01:16.476
THEIR PASSIONS OR FUTURE
ASPIRATIONS COULD BE.
>>: A UNIQUE SPACE IN DESIGN.
TALK ABOUT THE LAYOUT COME UP

13
00:01:16.476 --> 00:01:24.417
WITH THE EXPERIENCES ARE THAT
STUDENTS GET HANDS ON EXPERIENCE
AND WHAT THEY EXPERIENCE WHEN
THEY GO THROUGH IT.

14
00:01:24.417 --> 00:01:31.958
>>: SURE SO THE INNOVATION HUB
HAS SEVERAL LAYOUTS.
IT'S DESIGNED FROM DAVID
THORNBURG'S 21ST CENTURY

15
00:01:31.958 --> 00:01:39.165
LEARNING SPACES SO YOU TAKE THE
WATERING HOLE, WHICH IS THE
KITCHEN AREA, WHICH IS A
COLLABORATIVE SPACE THE WALKING

16
00:01:39.165 --> 00:01:48.775
OR TALKING AT THE WATER TANK, IF
YOU WILL, TO TRY TO UNITE SOME
CONVERSATION AND WE HAVE A MAKER
SPACE WHICH COULD BE IDENTIFIED

17
00:01:48.775 --> 00:01:56.249
IN THE 21ST CENTURY LEARNING
SPACE FOR THEM TO PROTOTYPE AND
MAKE THINGS QUICKLY AND REALLY
TAKE SOME IDEAS AND MAKE

18
00:01:56.249 --> 00:02:02.989
SOMETHING OUT OF IT.
WE HAVE A FIRESIDE CHAT AREA,
WHICH IS BRAINSTORMING AND
WHITEBOARD WALLS AND

19
00:02:02.989 --> 00:02:11.064
OPPORTUNITIES TO WRITE AS MUCH
AS THEY COULD WRITE ON THE WALLS
THEN SUMS AND PUT THINGS DOWN.
WE HAVE A GLASS BOX WHICH IS A

20
00:02:11.064 --> 00:02:18.404
REALLY NICE DESIGN FROM THE
STANDPOINT OF HAVING A
STRUCTURED LEARNING SPACE FROM A
TEACHER DIRECTED INSTRUCTIONAL

21
00:02:18.404 --> 00:02:24.577
AREA KIND OF OUTSIDE OF THAT
ZONE.
AND AREA DEDICATED TO COMPUTER
SCIENCE.

22
00:02:24.577 --> 00:02:33.753
MACBOOK INTEGRATION FOR MULTIPLE
I WOULD SAY PROGRAMMING FORMAT
LIKE SWIFT AND AN AUDIOVISUAL
LAB FOR THEM TO CREATE SOME

23
00:02:33.753 --> 00:02:41.761
PODCAST OR SOMETHING THAT COULD
BE EVEN LLC FOR THEM.
>>: DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE
FUTURE OF EDUCATION?

24
00:02:41.761 --> 00:02:48.501
>>: I THINK IT IS AND SHOULD
BE.
IT'S THE SPACE KIDS COME INTO
END INITIALLY THEY ARE ALLOWED,

25
00:02:48.501 --> 00:02:55.174
BUT IT REALLY IS THE MODERN-DAY
WORKSPACE.
IT'S THE TYPE OF SPACE KIDS COME
IN AND SAY WHAT CAN I DO HERE IN

26
00:02:55.174 --> 00:03:00.146
MY RESPONSES WHATEVER YOU CAN
IMAGINE.
IT'S TAKING SOMETHING FORMAL
THAT MIGHT BE PRODUCED BY A

27
00:03:00.146 --> 00:03:08.187
TEACHER OR THEM SAYING I JUST
WANT TO COME IN AND IT'S MY
PROVERBIAL SANDBOX.
>>: THE CONNECTION TO INDUSTRY

28
00:03:08.187 --> 00:03:16.262
PARTNERS AND I KNOW INDUSTRY
PARTNERS ARE INTERESTED IN THIS
BECAUSE THIS TYPE OF SPACE LEADS
TO PRODUCING STUDENTS WITH THE

29
00:03:16.262 --> 00:03:21.868
KIND OF JOBS THAT THEY HAVE OUT
THERE.
>>: ABSOLUTELY.
WHEN THIS WAS CREATED IN MY MIND

30
00:03:21.868 --> 00:03:29.509
IT'S A LIAISON SPACE TO BRING
INDUSTRY AND STUDENTS TOGETHER
TO WORK ON REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES
AND INDUSTRY CHALLENGES AND

31
00:03:29.509 --> 00:03:36.049
THINGS THAT ARE TANGIBLE FOR
STUDENTS TO APPLY LEARNING BUT
BRING INDUSTRY END AND WORK
ALONGSIDE OR MAYBE EVEN BE A

32
00:03:36.049 --> 00:03:42.188
SOUNDING BOARD FOR STUDENTS TO
WORK WITH.
I FEEL IT'S SOMETHING THAT
LEVELS UP STUDENTS AND GIVES

33
00:03:42.188 --> 00:03:51.230
THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH
A MENTOR AND IN MY MIND LEVEL
THEM UP IN A VARIETY OF WAYS.
>>: VERY COOL INNOVATIVE SPACE

34
00:03:51.230 --> 00:03:53.032
IN DECATUR TOWNSHIP THE
INNOVATION HUB THERE.
