Building STEAM for Research, Education and Economic Development

Wake Forest Innovations is proud to present a lunch and learn with Carol Strohecker!

Carol Strohecker is the inaugural Director of the Center for Design Innovation, a multi-campus high-tech research center of the University of North Carolina system. She will soon become Vice Provost for Academic Affairs of the Rhode Island School of Design.

Previously was Principal Investigator of the Everyday Learning research group at Media Lab Europe, the European research partner of the MIT Media Lab. Prior to joining MLE, Strohecker worked in the United States at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories and in the Human Interface Group of Sun Microsystems.

An MIT graduate, Strohecker advised Japan's Advanced Technology Research Consortium in the 1990s and, in the following decade, the European Commission's Directorates-General for Education and Culture and for Information Society and Media. Her collaborative work in interactive media tools and methods has resulted in four US patents.

Strohecker's awards also include Fellowships with the Artists Foundation of the Massachusetts Council for the Arts and Humanities, the US National Endowment for the Arts, and the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

Join us as Carol presents "Building STEAM for Research, Education and Economic Development." This presentation will focus on integrating arts and design into STEM education. A complimentary lunch will be served.

We look forward to seeing you there!
