Cross-generational Learning Experience
K-State Olathe partnered with the Olathe East High School
Environmental Design studio class and industry advisors from Burns & McDonnell, Garmin and Hallmark to create a cross-sector and cross-generational learning experience. The studio class project is to design a creative environment for 7,000 square feet of unfinished space at the K-State Olathe campus. The project was stimulated by ideas resulting from the December 2014 design workshop to scale up workplace experiences for K-20 students. Less than 5% of students in the U.S. have the opportunity to do internships. By connecting businesses, KSU faculty and tudents, the community and high school students, K-State Olathe plans to facilitate and create more peer, community and industry mentorship opportunities. |
