STEM/STEM Education
Description : This course enables students to explore, develop and apply concepts in Information Technology for Development (ITD) in the community. After having reviewed the theoretical and applied literature in ITD, students will apply their knowledge of this area by conducting applied research. A great deal of the course involves interaction with micro-enterprise owners in the community. Students will maintain a Journal to reflect on their experiences following every class and every meeting with the client. Journals will be collected and graded periodically throughout the semester. Students will research solutions to some commonly encountered technology-related challenges and develop a module consisting of an analysis of alternative solutions and a tutorial for implementing one of them. They will develop an individualized IT-based solution to a pressing problem or opportunity faced by a microenterprise. Students will work together with a microenterprise in the Omaha community or rural Nebraska. Students will prepare an analysis and plan for future information technology use by a specific microenterprise. Community partners and micro-entrepreneurs will be invited to the final presentations.

Description : As a part of UNO’s Service Learning Academy’s P-16 program, the UNO and Holling Heights students will discuss culture and diversity, and work together to develop an art mural for the Holling Heights community. In addition, community partner, Adrian Gomez Meza the immigrant & refugee services coordinator at the Omaha Public Library will assist with a book reading of Same, Same, But Different by Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw to springboard culture and diversity dialogue. OPL will ultimately house a piece of the mural – representing the ties that we have to our communities near and far. This event will allow students to continue cultural conversations through the development of an individual art piece.
