Popis: An educational incubator in Purdue University's Polytechnic Institute has been experimenting with highly integrated methods to facilitate, assess, and evaluate student learning. Comprised of transdisciplinary faculty and students, one of the basic covenants is to intentionally and repeatedly balance Humanities and STEM concepts by way of open-ended problems affecting humanity and the planet. The learning experience environment tries to integrate faculty and students from widely different disciplines in scenarios where cognitive and metacognitive development is encouraged and explored. This special session will engage attendees in examples of activities that can help students become self-aware of the power of music on their physiology and imagination while also integrating problem-solving and other STEM related concepts. Participants will take away ideas and techniques that they can add to their own palette for fostering integrated learning and metacognitive development. This session aligns with FIE's focus on innovations in classroom techniques.
