===<span>Digital Humanities Lab</span> ===
Established in 2018 as the Creative Writing Podcasting Studio, the Digital Humanities Lab provides students with a unique opportunity to try their hand in new mediums for publishing humanities research. A joint effort by the English and History Departments, with the rest of the College of Liberal Arts, the Digital Humanities Lab also helps set SIU apart by giving students unique opportunites.
=== College of Agriculture: Green Roof Revitalization and Modernization Project ===<br The project took many twist and turns over its lifecycle. Initially, the project called for a brand awareness campaign fused with Design Thinking Workshops for bringing students and faculty both on campus and virtually together to emphasize and ideate solutions towards increasing student engagement within the space. The collaboration led to the project being phased as "transforming an existing green space into an interdisciplinary innovation hub for participatory learning." In connection to the brand awareness, several engineering projects were initiated by the founder, Nelson Fernandes. These projects were worked on by a virtual team starting in 2020, inspired by the pandemic, where students from SIU and other universities in the US and Europe came together. The students designed, manufactured, and installed 3 temporary small wind turbines with Solar PV for the Green Roof to inspire a clean energy agenda by the university. Additionally, conducted research on a smart irrigation system's effectiveness and a wind turbine constructed from common household materials. All projects were used to showcase opportunities available to students on campus within this interdisciplinary space. From the project outcomes, several awards were awarded to the team and founder including the Illinois Innovation Network's Student Innovator of the Year, SIUC Student Service Award, etc. Currently, the Green Roof Team transitioned as a business where they are turning their experiences and projects into educational resources and diy kits for sale.
