Making as a movement has been part of the core vision for Folsom Lake College. Folsom has begun implementing a modern making curriculum across many disciplines in the campus. This encourages faculty to participate in this movement by collaborating with their fellow faculty and guiding their students to innovation in their respective disciplines.
There are multiple courses that are currently being implemented. One of which includes a sociology course known as '''Making Social Change'''. This course train trains students using new technologies and tools which can help bring about social innovation. Another course that's currently being implemented is '''Entrepreneurship, Innovation and New Enterprise Development'''. This course will help our business faculty to collaborate and get exposed to modern entrepeneurship as well as teach students the methods used by startups such as '''design thinking''', the '''iterative design process''', and '''finding product -market fit'''.
Folsom has also participated in the instructional design program known as '''New World of Work'''. This program trains instructors on how to teach modern career-ready skills.
In order to create the new modern making curriculum, Folsom Lake College has built out a '''business advisory board''' of regional industry leaders to collaborate and create solutions.
'''FLC Works''' is a career and technical education center which helps students achieve workforce goals through certificates, pathways, and pop -up programs.
