Learning in "Real Life": Stories of Impact Through Engagement

This exhibit features a breadth of projects showcasing engaged learning opportunities at Michigan. Engaged learning foregrounds authentic, participatory, problem-based learning and community engagement in academic settings, such as service learning, academic internships, undergraduate research, education abroad, and civic arts engagement. From weaving in Peru to building a low-cost book scanner in the engineering classroom to combatting plant blindness through creative expression, these projects enable students to put theory into practice, integrate their learning across contexts, take greater ownership over their education, and create positive social change in very “real” ways.
