A Makerspace for Interdisciplinary, Research-Led Science Education

A makerspace is an environment that brings communities of people together with the resources, tools, and knowledge to work on their projects. Such spaces offer people the opportunity to learn and transfer skills, while solving problems in an active research-led way. These thriving environments forge creativity, stimulate the curious mind, and can readily be translated into an interdisciplinary learning space in higher education, for all science and engineering at ANU; and potentially for all Colleges.

Flipping Honours Quantum

This project will utilise the edge.edX platform to 'flip' the Physics Honours Quantum course. Students across all disciplines need to learn the requisite background theory and, critically,how to apply this theory to solve problems. Unfortunately, students typically receive far fewer contact hours devoted to application than content. By moving all lecture content online,students will be able to access the course content at their convenience,and academic contact hours can be more effectively utilised guiding students through challenging and open-ended problems. This project will make use of experience and lessons learned from flipping the third year Theoretical Physics course.

Deformational Sandbox

This project will enhance research-led teaching at all undergraduate levels in Earth Sciences by introducing students to methods for quantitative physical analogue modeling by the construction of a "deformational sandbox" apparatus to simulate large-scale deformation processes that occur in the Earth's crust on timescales of millions of years.
