NJ Course Code:

Students participating in the MiLL Sandbox course will have the opportunity to innovate in a vibrant and unique learning environment where they have the freedom to pursue answers to open-ended, authentic design challenges. Inquiry-based learning places students at the center of the knowledge discovery and construction processes. Instead of absorbing information from the professor or starting with a set of facts, students leverage their inherent curiosity to ask questions, engage with content, and seek answers through experiences and experiments. Thus, they will be challenged to increase their capacities for independent inquiry, taking on intellectual risks, learning from failures, collaboration, and for identifying problems and solutions to effect constructive and sustainable global change.
