Innovative Learning Environments in STEM Higher Education: Opportunities, Challenges, and Looking Forward

Imagine a world in which innovation is allowed to drive the educational learning environment. Whether it be the ability to reach out around the globe and have virtual access to the experts or to be able to feel like you are immersed into the actual environment, such a future can exist. It is important to keep these possibilities in mind as we continue to explore in-depth the concepts supporting Innovative Learning Environments. My initial encounter with the authors of this book stemmed from an invitation to be the opening presenter for a workshop on Innovative Learning Environments. As I prepared the charts to present, I pondered on what would be the appropriate message to
share with the participants of this workshop, individuals who have spent a lifetime grounded in integrating emerging technologies and innovations into learning spaces. In preparing the presentation, I thought it is best to share my experiences (as an educator, engineer, and STEM motivator) about learning environments that craved for change, that craved for fresh thought and new perspective, and environments that craved for innovation. The best way I could think of to impact and motivate the participants was to allow the voices of those students I had encountered to speak through me.
One story was that of Patrick who enrolled in my Summer Science Academy disinterested in science. His mother was trying to expose him to STEM to spark an interest while also seeking to improve his math and science skills. However, Patrick resisted applying himself. He hated math and science because (in his eyes) it was too abstract, boring, irrelevant, or as he says “stupid.” Once I was able to create activities that simply connected science to everything in his life (his favorite foods,
his clothes, his tennis shoes, his bicycle, his video games, etc.), Patrick adjusted his perspective and opened his mind to learning.
