At CITL, we believe that connecting the resources in the Hackerspace to courses helps 91福利\u2019s students prepare for a range of future careers. The Hackerspace is open to all members of 91福利\u2019s community, and because there\u2019s a low barrier to entry, it\u2019s a great place to start when you or your students have a new idea. Our instructional designers are ready to help you plan how to integrate these new technologies into course projects.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By integrating these technologies into 91福利 courses, you are providing students with valuable skills and knowledge that are in high demand in many disciplines and industries. You can help them become well-versed in the tools and technologies that will make a difference in their future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Curious? <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/instructional-design-2\/pedagogy-consultation\/\">Reach out<\/a> and we\u2019d be happy to start the conversation with you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"20528\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20528\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2023\/03\/CHE352_Hackerspace.jpg\" alt=\"Image of Hackerspace\" width=\"600\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2023\/03\/CHE352_Hackerspace.jpg 600w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2023\/03\/CHE352_Hackerspace-105x64.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2023\/03\/CHE352_Hackerspace-317x194.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2023\/03\/CHE352_Hackerspace-423x259.jpg 423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students in Hackerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>How can the Hackerspace help prepare students for their future?

Working with these materials in the Hackerspace helps provide hands-on experience with coding and electronics, and help students understand how to build and program real-world systems.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Sensors<\/strong> are used in a variety of applications such as environmental monitoring, industrial automation, and medical devices. Studying sensors helps students understand how to collect and analyze data, and how to design systems that can interact with the physical world.\u00a0 <\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students in Introduction to Horticulture use Raspberry Pis, capacitive moisture sensors and temperature and humidity sensors to create plant monitoring systems that collect data on soil moisture, temperature and humidity. As part of the class, students use this data to make decisions about how to best care for their plants over the course of the semester, in the same way that data is tracked and care of the plants is modified in a greenhouse.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>\n<p><figure id=\"20529\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20529\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2023\/03\/PSE110_Hackerspace.jpg\" alt=\"visual of soil sensor technology\" width=\"600\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2023\/03\/PSE110_Hackerspace.jpg 600w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2023\/03\/PSE110_Hackerspace-105x58.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2023\/03\/PSE110_Hackerspace-317x174.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2023\/03\/PSE110_Hackerspace-423x233.jpg 423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Soil monitoring with Rasberry Pi<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Wearable technology<\/strong> offers new and unique ways for people to interact with computers.
