What a year it has been here at the Hive! Things were buzzing and the Hive turned five years old in May. We had lots of \u201cnews\u201d this year, including new design projects, new virtual and in-person events, new post-baccalaureate associates (post-bacs for short!), and many new learnings!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s review this past academic year, highlighting exciting and interesting happenings and ideas\u2014new Hive classes, inspiring events that we\u2019ve hosted, thoughts on our move to distance learning, space innovations\u2014and top it off with some cool Instagram features we\u2019ve introduced.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Three new post-bacs joined the Hive team this year: Peri Cuppens, a graduate of Pitzer College, Crystal Orazu, a graduate of Pomona College, and Elizabeth (Katy) Lewis, a graduate of Scripps College. They joined Lily Yang, a graduate of Scripps College, who completed her third semester as a post-bac at the end of the Fall 2019 semester. Even though our current post-bacs graduated from The Claremont Colleges, they can apply from anywhere! This year, the post-bacs were also teaching assistants for the Hive\u2019s classes, both recurring and new. Check out our team page to see our full roster of permanent staff, post-bacs, and student staff<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Designing Your Team<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Peri, who was captain of the Pomona-Pitzer women\u2019s soccer team during her senior year, led an initiative called Designing Your Team and produced the Power Moves Deck. Modeled after SYPartner\u2019s Superpowers Deck<\/a>, the Power Moves Deck is used with teams, and helps each team member identify their leadership strength. Team members choose from 18 strengths, and as the team discusses each other\u2019s power move picks, they see how they can lean on one another in team building and during their games. Many a team at the 5Cs has been wowed by their sessions with Peri<\/a>! In March, when colleges and universities across the country made the move to distance learning, Peri used MURAL<\/a>\u2014a virtual whiteboard tool\u2014to virtualize the Power Moves Deck, so that she can conduct sessions remotely with sports teams. Check out the MURAL below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Toolbox ReTool<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Early in the academic year, a major redesign of one of the Hive\u2019s favorite makerspaces happened! The Toolbox, a key Hive makerspace where students can make and build projects, was redesigned. The ReTool project was designed and led by Lily and our Director of Design and Creativity, Kareem Collie. New vinyl stickers adorn the walls and tables in the space, instructing visitors how to safely create their projects in a series of four progressive stages: Draft, Divide, Combine, Finish.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t
