About this Project
The Paul J. Rickards, Jr. Teaching Innovation Grant program encourages the spirit of innovation in education. Responding to new approaches in a post-Covid and early-AI world, these seed grants enable faculty to bring new teaching ideas to the classroom.
The complete faculty award package goes beyond funding, offering a holistic support system that nurtures innovation and ensures a demonstrable product. This multifaceted approach embodies one of the program’s core tenets: inspiring others. By providing resources, capturing success stories, and sharing them widely, we create a ripple effect of innovation. The result? A continually evolving educational landscape that offers students engaging, cutting-edge learning experiences.
Projects completed from the inaugural grant offering include:
- An interactive 'escape room' for freshman materials science students
- A Music Error Detection Website for aspiring musicians
- A Data Visualization Workshop Series for economics students
