INFSCI 1480 PROTOTYPING EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES

This course is a hands-on lab on prototyping educational technology. Students will learn to prototype learning toolkits, educational toys, science kits, and technology-enhanced manipulatives using state-of-the-art fabrication machines (e.g., 3D printers, 3D scanners, laser cutters, sensors, robotics). The course also explores the use of AI tools (e.g., generative AI, machine learning APIs, LLM-based interfaces) as prototyping materials for educational experiences. A special focus of the course will be to design low-cost, appropriate technologies for a wide range of learners.
