GUEST SPEAKER: UNIVERSITY OF IOWA PROFESSOR STEVE McGUIRE, The Iowa Idea at Great Heights: Integrating Art, Science, and Engineering in The Iceland High-Altitude Ballooning Project In this presentation, Steve McGuire introduces The Iowa Idea at Great Heights: Integrating Art, Science, and Engineering in The Iceland High-Altitude Ballooning Project as a living extension of the University of Iowa’s century-old Iowa Idea, tracing how artistic practice, scientific inquiry, and engineering design converge through making, testing, movement, and place. McGuire frames the project as a continuous system that begins in a Spring 2026 interdisciplinary course - comprised of art, physics and engineering majors - where students collaboratively design and build high-altitude balloon payloads, extends into an immersive July student field experience in Iceland where those systems are tested and refined, and culminates in the Iceland Path of Totality—a 750-mile bikepacking expedition that physically carries the student-built payload across the country to its August 12 solar eclipse launch in the Westfjords.
