Harris Center: Spring 2019
In addition to program notes for today’s show, inside this program guide you’ll find information about the many arts education programs offered by Folsom Lake College (page 7) as well as the college’s Innovation Center makerspace (page 12). There’s also a spotlight on some dance academies, one of the many local arts organizations that perform in the Center (page 14). Visit page 11 to learn about Center Gift Cards, Discount Ticket programs, Group Sales and the Center’s Perks Card program. To help you plan ahead, a listing of this season’s events is available on pages 60 and 61. Also within are acknowledgements of some of the cast that help make this all possible, including our members anddonors (pages 54-55) and sponsors (page 57) whose support of the Center is critical to its success, since ticket revenues alone simply do not cover all the costs of providing a world-class arts center. As you learn more about the Center and its programs, we hope you’ll also consider contributing to help us further expand the reach and impact of the Harris Center in this community. Again, thank you for attending today’s performance. We hope you’ll enjoy this great show, up close, and return for many more in the years ahead.

Spotlight on Folsom Lake College: Makerspace<br />
12 2018-<strong>2019</strong> SEASON PROGRAM GUIDE www.harriscenter.net<br />
Innovation <strong>Center</strong><br />
The Innovation <strong>Center</strong> (IC) at Folsom Lake College is a comprehensive makerspace,<br />
an instructional innovation and technology development incubator that expands<br />
the college's capacity to offer interdisciplinary curriculum and programs and<br />
provides students, faculty, and staff with access to hands-on, state-of-the-art<br />
prototyping technologies.<br />
The Innovation <strong>Center</strong> is a student resource dedicated to exploration of knowledge<br />
and creation of awesome stuff! It connects students with Makerships, short<br />
internships designed to introduce students to the real world field in which they<br />
would work.<br />
A makerspace is a physical location where people gather to share resources and<br />
knowledge, work on projects, network, and build things. At Folsom Lake College,<br />
it's is a collaborative studio space, an informal combination of lab and workshop,<br />
and a creative environment for learning through hands-on exploration.<br />
Innovation <strong>Center</strong> programs and resources enable students from all disciplines<br />
to tackle open-ended, real world challenges, preparing them for careers<br />
involving innovation, creativity, and invention and helping them to become more<br />
competitive in a rapidly changing job market.<br />
The IC hosts workshops on the latest in digital fabrication and related<br />
technologies, including three dimensional-printing, laser cutting/engraving,<br />
computer numerical controlled (CNC) machining, bioprinting, virtual reality,<br />
and microcontrollers. It has grown into an inclusive and dynamic environment<br />
for students to collaborate on interdiciplinary projects and internships, and is<br />
home to courses and certificates in Digital Fabrication and the Internet of Things.<br />
The IC functions as a catalyst for instructional innovation, enabling the college<br />
to cultivate deeper relationships with local businesses, K-12 partners, transfer<br />
institutions and the community, and cements FLC’s reputation as a regional<br />
leader in STEM/STEAM education.<br />
Innovation <strong>Center</strong> programs are made possible by CCC Maker, a grant from the<br />
California Community College Chancellor’s Office, Workforce and Economic<br />
Division, as part of the Doing What Matters for Jobs and the Economy framework,<br />
and through the generous support of our local sponsors, including Inductive<br />
Automation, Intel, and the Bob and Star Pepper Foundation.<br />
Zachary Dowell serves as the Instructional Design & Development Coordinator<br />
of the Innovation <strong>Center</strong>.<br />
