In the COVID-19 era, finding creative ways to solve problems has become more important than ever, especially when it comes to hands-on learning. The director of making at the Wond’ry Vanderbilt’s Innovation Center, has adjusted his engineering and immersive design class to help students create in all environments while making things that have an impact. To adapt, Kevin Galloway, research assistant professor of mechanical engineering, who teaches “How to Make (Almost) Anything and Make it Matter,” has created maker-kits so students can work anywhere. “I packed a large flat rate shipping box with all of the supplies they’d need so that if for some reason somebody had to go into quarantine or had to go home, they could still stay on task and still get hands-on experience,” he said. Designs made using computer-aided design (CAD) tools that need to be 3-D printed or cut are sent in virtually by the student then printed and mailed back to them, which Galloway says is similar to a work process professionals use.
