Besides giving students and teachers a new way of assessment, EduStudio will benefit viewers who can learn about key concepts in a more engaging, concise way.</span></span><br/><span id="docs-internal-guid-a2659499-e493-43c2-e7dc-df8d255f0b13"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">EduStudio will encourage faculty to innovate, while also reaping educational benefits for the student body. While EduStudio is a fairly fluid concept, its main use is to assist faculty with creating new teaching tools and methods as well as to improve existing grading methods to make them more experimental and to encourage students to explore homework assignments deeper and more creatively. While we are unsure of what the final product will be like, we want to work to make collaborative spaces for faculty to learn how to incorporate creativity into their curriculum because creativity will help encourage students to be more innovative. We hope to speak with faculty and gauge interest, and will ideally work with the Design Thinking Initiative to brainstorm and facilitate workshops in educating professors in alternative teaching methods.</span></span>

There is a special prompt on the idea board every other week, and the person who suggests the best answer, voted by the Smith community, will receive 5$ Campus Center/ Grecourt Bookshop gift card.</span><br/><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">The Innovation Library also has small maker-space and short coffee-break sessions with discussions / talks about I&E, design thinking and other issues on campus. There are posters and flyers around the library, and there are bookmarks that advertise I&E resources. The wordings in the bookmarks are tailored to academic fields so that students will respond better to those opportunities.</span>
