Bringing Calculus to Life

What if your Calculus class included laser cutting, coding and robots? At Lehigh, students in the Future Labs: Calculus II Math Lab are bringing math to life through hands-on engineering and design. In this pilot program, students applied core calculus concepts like derivatives and integration while building a heart rate monitor, a stress opticon and a self-balancing robot. From soldering to 3D printing, this lab blends theory with tech, preparing Lehigh’s future makers to innovate far beyond the classroom.
