Bethune-Cookman Student Priorites

Tent X (Danielle Gaskins, Junior) 

The Tent X is a mobile Maker Space/Laboratory where students and researchers may transcend the confines of the brick and mortar learning spaces on campus. The Tent X is hoped to be a vehicle where faculty and student can “Bring the Lab to where the Science Happens.”

Science Spaces (DM Suja, Senior)

Sometime in the in its passed BCU had removed its physics program from its curriculum. This has left the Science building with an entire used floor and about a million dollars’ worth of equipment. The leadership circle is looking to use these labs as Maker Spaces, beginning the project with a series of workshops where students from any major can learn about the advent of different type of science equipment and also learn how to use them by using them.

 

Android Development Lab (Fatin Cooper, sophomore)

The Electronic Media Development Lab will begin as an android development lab where students can engage in project where products are being developed for patent and to market. The candidates hope to secure a computer laboratory where those interested in tech may again hands on learning about software product life-cycles and write 100,000s of lines of code before they graduate and enter the workforce.

 

BCU-Trivium (Fatin Cooper, Sophomore; Roslyn O’Neal, sophomore)

The Trivium is an interdisciplinary conference where student and faculty of different major may collaborate to place learning and education contexts, so that students may gather a better understanding of what they needed to meet their professional goals.

Projects– Project are opportunities where students and can get hand-on involvement in startup and tech transfer.   

Workshops – The workshop are opportunities for cross education training. Hopefully Business and Engineering may collaborate for entrepreneurial insight into science and technology fields, or, Engineering and Liberal Arts may collaborate in order the laydown the groundwork for a design course.

Seminar – Subject matter experts, Business and Community Leaders may talk to students about current and relevant issues. This should be an opportunity to further enrich the B-CU student’s academic experience and hopefully inspire students and faculty memebers.

 

Wildcat Buzz Feed (Fatin Cooper, Sophomore; Dm Suja Senior)

Hope to get the Mass Communications department engaged in creating Media and Social Media to promote the programs established by the leadership circles. These initiatives will be beneficial to students as far as experience and education, but it will be of more help to their careers if persons, namely employers, know about them or had a place where they could see these programs at work and their benefits.
