full STEAM ahead 2020!
UCLA Sci Art Lab + Studio is full STEAM ahead! We are not subscribing to the industrial, linear model based on the past -- we assume that Engineering and Math are part of Science and Technology, that Ecology is at the heart of what we need to think and learn about and believe that Mindfulness should be part of every class. 
 

Science, Technology, Ecology, Arts and Mindfulness

 -- non linear quantum STEAM for the future leaders and teachers who will inherit the Earth. Our lessons are BOTTOM UP -- just like nature works and we move back and forth between analogue and digital. We start with nano and end up in space -- having fun all along the way -- as we believe PLAY and collaboration are the key.
INSTRUCTOR + WORKSHOP FEATURE
JOHN BRUMLEY
John Brumley introduces himself and his workshop Listening to Natural Radio: Building an antenna for listening to VLF Radio

Listening to Natural Radio: Building an Antenna for Listening to VLF Radio:


In this workshop we will build an antenna for recording  electromagnetic waves in the VLF spectrum and attempt to isolate and identify signals from planetary and cosmic sources. We will consider the relationship between electromagnetic and acoustic waves, sources of interference, and the human impacts from producing these waves. 

  1. Waves: mechanical, electromagnetic, acoustic.

  2. Signals and communication, human and natural 

  3. Building and testing the antenna

  4. Recording with the antenna, methods and causes of interference, audio signal processing

  5. Sharing!

MORE ABOUT 2020 SCI ART LAB + STUDIO
Our course will TIME TRAVEL around the world connecting material and discussions in group-based learning. We will have instructors in Europe (Vienna), NY, LA and Singapore so every time zone has LIVE instruction with hands-on tutorials and lively discussions.

STUDENTS, 
PLANETARY CITIZEN SCI ARTISTS, will be collecting data and material from their LOCAL locations and SHARING with their peers GLOBALLY.

We will be looking at how content generated in remote locations can produce a wide spectrum of knowledge about our global environment as a whole.
2020 SCI ART CURRICULUM:

REMOTE CURRICULUM

Lab visits: 
  • Students will be led on virtual tours of the world-class laboratories and facilities at CNSI. During the program, students will hear from researchers and leading scientists working in the labs and gain a base understanding of microscopy and applications.  
Workshops:
  • Students will be exposed to engaging, virtual workshops lead by artists/scientists/technologists. These online workshops and tutorials will be hands-on and provide students with technical skill development in areas such as: VR, AR, animation, Arduino programming and robotics, performance, installation, video, 2D representation and more.
Lectures: 
  • Each day students will get both live and recorded lectures from world-renown scientists and artists that pertain to the day’s theme. We have an incredible cast of professionals who will be joining us from around the world, facilitating learning through the presentation of their research and projects. 
Final Projects:
  • The final project invites students to Imagine the Impossible! This year, students will be faced with the real-world challenge of working on these projects remotely and collectively. On the final day of the course, students will present these projects and this final presentation will be live-streamed and archived.
Field Trips:
  • This year, Sci|Art will offer students Virtual Field Trips to deepen art and science connections by familiarizing them with real-world examples of the intersections.
