本文介绍了在综合与比较生物学学会2021年年会上发表的研讨会的手稿收集情况，该研讨会的主题是《课堂之外的生物学：通过真实的研究、设计和社区参与进行的体验式学习》。以下论文展示了让本科生参与体验式科学学习体验的创新方法。具体地说，我们专注于三种高影响力的做法，允许学生将他们的学习带到课堂之外，以提高相关性和真实性：(1)基于课程的本科生研究，(2)制造空间的数字制造，以及(3)基于服务或基于社区的学习机会。虽然每个主题都是独一无二的，但它们都提供了传统讲课的另一种方法，并已被证明有效地吸引了在科学、技术、工程和数学劳动力中传统上代表性不足的不同学生群体。
This paper introduces the collection of manuscripts from the symposium, “Biology Beyond the Classroom: Experiential Learning through Authentic Research, Design, and Community Engagement,” presented at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology. The following papers showcase innovative approaches for engaging undergraduate students in experiential science learning experiences. Specifically, we focus on three high-impact practices that allow students to take their learning outside of the classroom for increased relevance and authenticity: (1) Course-Based Undergraduate Research, (2) Digital Fabrication in Makerspaces, and (3) Service or Community-based Learning Opportunities. Although each topic is unique, all provide an alternative approach to the traditional lecture and have proven effective at appealing to diverse groups of students who are traditionally underrepresented in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics workforce.
