Tutoring for a Class You've Never Taken: STEM Edition
2016-04-26 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver)
Have you ever tutored for a science or math class? Have you ever helped your friends with their STEM homework? What strategies did you use to ensure that students understood the material, and learned the skills to help them solve similar problems in the future? After three years tutoring math and computer science at Harvey Mudd, Jennifer Rogers (HMC ’16) believes that we should feel equally comfortable tutoring classes we’ve taken, and ones we haven’t. In this workshop, participants will engage in mock tutoring to understand what is and is not effective for student learning. Additionally, participants will discuss their own experiences with tutoring, and we will distill some wisdom from these experiences.

Slow Looking - Mini-Workshop
2016-04-19 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver)
Join the Hive and the Pomona College Museum of Art for a session of slow, sustained attention to original works of art from the Museum’s collection, which will be on temporary display at the Hive during the workshop. While the average museum attendee examines an artwork for only 5-6 seconds, studies have shown that an extended session of art observation and subsequent group conversation can increase each viewer’s empathy and overall awareness. This workshop will use slow looking techniques developed for training medical students, and we will also use the time to think about how to improve and advance the art observation process.

Lovin' the Loop Pedal - Mini-Workshop
2016-04-18 20:30 - 21:30 (America/Denver)
Back by popular demand! It’s not everyday that someone puts a box in front of you and tells you it will only work if you stomp on it. It’s an infinitely more peculiar day when someone tells you that the result of stomping on a box, with a few steps in between, is the creation of beautiful music. Fortunately, that day is coming soon and that box is called a loop pedal.
Buzz on down to the Hive this Monday for a workshop that’s all about the importance of practicing musical collaboration and the potential to do it through musical devices like loop pedals. You don’t need an ounce of musical training to participate — all you need is a little bravery, open ears, and a willingness to make a lot of music and a lot of mistakes.
Check out this interview we did with Sajo after last semester’s version of this workshop if you want to learn more about how awesome it will be: http://creativity.claremont.edu/faces-hive-sajo-jefferson-po-19/
