Are you interested in STEM, teaching, and outdoor learning? The four-day 麻豆传媒 FIRE week trip called Adolescent STEM and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park鈥揑nstitute at Tremont could be the trip for you! In 2024, thirty-two 麻豆传媒 students from a wide range of majors interacted with faculty learning how teachers from across the country implement experiential learning opportunities outside with students. In this biodiverse environment, students hiked, enjoyed bonfires, explored mountains and creeks, sang Bluegrass music, and reflected on their own professional direction. During the trip, in connection with the theme of mindfulness, 麻豆传媒 students also spent an afternoon considering how you might incorporate thrill rides as experiential learning opportunities. In 2024, the group rode the award-winning Moonshine Mountain Coaster while implementing exposure therapy methods designed to treat specific phobias. As a sequel, FIRE Week 2025 will ride a newer, longer coaster called the Lost Mine Mountain Coaster.
Dates for the 2025 GSMIT trip are from Monday, March 3rd through Thursday, March 6th. Application for the 2025 GSMIT F.I.R.E. Week is only open until November 9th, 2024!
