Culmination Of The Arts And Stem To Enhance Creativity And Promote Learning, Kaleigh Evans Jul 2026

Culmination Of The Arts And Stem To Enhance Creativity And Promote Learning, Kaleigh Evans

Physics and Astronomy Summer Fellows

In this work, we investigate the results from a survey, issued to a course in “Stained Glass” (n= 23 students). Major findings include that the introduction of a problem-based learning (PBL) course in the arts of stained glass may support high demand skills such as interdisciplinary conceptual learning as well as soft skills such as scientific confidence, interdisciplinary transfer, and collaborative learnings. A journal paper draft was completed and will be submitted this Fall. This summer, work was also done to establish a guide to modeling and 3D printing to help establish and grow a makerspace on campus for use …

Interdivisional Studies Presentations

The first Ceramics & Art class (IDS-110-F: ST: Ceramics) has completed an immersive, interdisciplinary exploration of stained glass and we’re excited to showcase it now. Through hands-on studio work, experiments, and design projects, we combined artistic expression with the science of glass—learning how physics and chemistry shape everything from color to strength and light interaction. The students have developed practical skills in cutting, grinding, foiling, soldering, and assembling stained-glass pieces, while also experimenting with thermal stress, light transmission, and color chemistry. Glass is now understood as not just as an art form, but as a dynamic material grounded in scientific …
