SCI 211 WUV Education and Innovation Presentation

Final Project

Project Background

Throughout the course you will do substantial research through tasks, discussions, and hands on lessons which directly relate to a component of the final project. The goal of this class is to explore the many facets of science and technology. You will meet leaders, inventors, and dreamers from both the technology and scientific communities. You will be introduced to world problems that have been solved through the combination of science and technology. Our hope is that you will be inspired to make a difference in the world using the tools and skills learned throughout this course.

The discussions introduce world problems that utilize both science and technology to solve those problems. The tasks ask you to explore different technology from different eras. This is to get a taste of what people have accomplished through the years and where science and technology ,iChat be heading in the future. The lessons are where you pull together everything you have learned to design your own solution. There will be several hands on activities that help you prepare for your final project.

 The final project- Solve a world problem using science and technology

Unleash your creativity and dream big. Design a prototype, using science and technology, to solve a current problem in the world. The final project will consist of 2 parts:

The Final Presentation and the Final Paper.

The Final Presentation

This is where you will demonstrate to the class, both visually and orally, what you have learned. You may choose any of the following platforms:

• A Poster Presentation • A Traditional Presentation • Build an App • Other (with permission of your professor)

The Final Paper

 You have worked all term on assignments that have led to this final moment. It is now time to pull the final paper together. Please use proper APA formatting. You should include:

Executive Summary/ Abstract (~1 Page)

1. A clear description of the problem;

 2. A clear explanation about how technology and science are necessary to solve the problem; and

3. A description of your solution.

Problem Description (~1-2 Pages)

4. Introduce the problem and setting

• include a description of the problem, • Your solution, and • the reasons for the need to use science and technology to solve the problem.

5. Describe how your solution is unique.

6. Conclusion. Impact Statement How will your use of science and technology impact a people group with this problem? (~1-2 Pages)

 7. State the problem.

 8. State the technology and science you intend to use to solve the problem.

9. Introduce the people group affected by the problem.

10. Describe what has been done to improve the problem and the impact it has had on the people group.

11. Describe a range of possible (technology and science) solutions to the problem. Detail possible affects on the people group if these solutions are utilized.

12. Conclusion Action Plan (~2-4 Pages) 13. Proposed Action (Describe your proposed action to solve the problem.)

14. Design and describe the prototype of the technology you will use to solve the problem. Add images.

15. Write an Economic Impact (Analyze the economic impact of your proposed action to solve the problem. Then consider the economic feasibility.)

16. Implementation Plan (Describe a proposed implementation plan for the proposed action.)

 17. Conclusion. Reflection (~1 Page) Reflect on your journey to solve world problems in this course.
