Parks and Tech 

Society simultaneously shapes, and is shaped by, technology. This type of thinking focuses on problem-solving and requires an understanding of how social and technical aspects of issues are interconnected. Teams of students will practice this sociotechnical thinking by researching and designing a park/playground. They will have access to the Makerspace on campus, which has 3D printers, a laser engraver, and other tools/materials to create a model of their park. On the last day of camp, the teams will present their park to each other and a panel of judges who will award a prize to the team who best demonstrates sociotechnical thinking.
