Learn about Algonquin College’s Creative Collisions project, a partnership between the Centre for Accessible Learning with the DARE Makerspace. Students use art and technology tools to enable creative expression and skill development across abilities while promoting mental health and a sense of belonging. Activities include access to tools like 3D printers, vinyl cutters and laser cutters; student-led workshops on cultural ways of creating (e.g. henna); educational sessions e.g. discussing mental health strategies while engaging in art creation; and a multidisciplinary art show as a culmination of the project. Knowledge sharing in this session will include participation in creative activities.
