There is no such thing as waste in living systems. Waste Meets Creativity is a hands-on exploration of how art and creativity can meet the challenges of waste by cultivating a deeper understanding of living systems. Looking to Regeneration First Principles, Cradle to Cradle Design, and Bio and Ecosystem Mimicry, students will engage with local and international design clients to tackle a waste challenge and deliver a model or prototype. We will explore questions like: Can we turn this waste product into packaging material or another valuable co-product? Can we use an unexpected waste material to make art? Can we create systems that by design make for a cleaner, greener world?Science and Math (SCIMA) courses develop students' capacity for evidence-based reasoning through the study of life, earth, and physical sciences and of computational and theoretical mathematics. In these courses, students learn to recognize and interpret meaningful patterns of information; to assess the validity of empirical claims, distinguishing between opinion and fact; and to understand the sociocultural relevance of scientific and mathematical thinking.**This course fulfills the SCIMA 2000 requirement.
