Summary
The PCC STEAM Centers are spaces for students to engage in hands-on learning using emerging technology. “Sparking Curiosity” is a vital part of students creating and feeling connected to their own learning experience. Collaborating with the Five PCC STEAM Centers to integrate project based learning into your curriculum can reinforce understanding of class topics, allow students to create and explore class ideas, while helping instructors reach their learning objectives (While having fun).

PCC offers this limited open forum as an extension of the respectful, well-reasoned discourse we expect in our classroom discussions. As such, we welcome all viewpoints, but monitor comments to be sure they stick to the topic and contribute to the conversation. We will remove them if they contain or link to abusive material, personal attacks, profanity, off-topic items, or spam. This is the same behavior we require in our hallways and classrooms. Our online spaces are no different.
