Davis and Miles Lead MACS Program

Celestine Davis and Gera Miles represented the English Department through their “Write Time, Write Place” initiative as part of an exciting summer program called MACS (Mathematics, Aerospace, Computers, and Sports). This innovative program combined physical activity with STEM education and creative expression.

Over the week, students began by learning and practicing tennis. They then explored STEM principles connected to their athletic experiences through engaging sessions led by engineers. Afterward, Davis and Miles guided them in writing and storyboarding their educational and personal experiences, which they transformed into digital comics. They emphasized the power of storytelling and showed them how comics could be used to teach their peers about the STEM concepts they had learned.
