DEPARTMENT LOCATIONS
STEAMbassador- Become a STEAMbassador this summer and you will be a specially-trained mentor that engages elementary and middle-school aged youth in STEAM activities such as:
• Lego Robotics - Lego robotics is a platform centered around building robots and other vehicles, and programming them to move and perform other functions.
• Mobile App Development - People often wonder how to build an app you can use on your iOS device, or even your Apple Watch. A lot of moving parts need to work together to make an app run, and Xcode, which is Apple's coding platform, is the best tool for putting them all together.
• Spheros - Spheros are spherical programmable robots that can be operated and coded using a phone or an iPad.
• 3D Printing - 3D printing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material (filament) until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced cross-section of the object.
• VR Class - A virtual reality headset (or VR headset) is a head-mounted device that provides virtual reality for the wearer. VR headsets are widely used with VR video games but they are also used in other applications, including simulators and trainers. VR headsets typically include a stereoscopic display (providing separate images for each eye), stereo sound, and sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes for tracking the Pose of the user's head to match the orientation of the virtual camera with the user's eye positions in the real world.
• Podcasting - Podcasting is the preparation and distribution of audio files to the computers of subscribed users. These files may then be uploaded to streaming services, which users can listen to on their smartphones or digital music and multimedia players, like an iPod. A podcast can easily be created from a digital audio file.
• Animation - Animation is the illusion of movement created via a series of images displayed in rapid succession.
• Sports Tech - Sports tech is an opportunity to learn about various sports and how technology
can help train and develop athletes to make them better. Technology can also be used in traditional and social media to capture film and create highlight videos for all sports. This will be an interactive program.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES:
• Completes necessary STEAM training provided by Truman College and/or its partner in preparation for working with elementary and middle school students within spaces and in communities throughout Chicago.
• Leads and works with youths on various types of sessions, activities, and projects that enforces knowledge and skills in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) content areas.
