ART OF SCIENCE LEARNING CONFERENCE

San Diego

June 14-15

CALIT2, University of California San Diego

Hands-on, imaginative approaches to science education, using methods from the creative arts, have  been shown to attract and retain young people in the STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Education and Mathematics).

The Art of Science Learning is an NSF-funded project convening scientists,

artists, educators, business leaders, researchers and policymakers in three

conferences this Spring to explore how the arts can be engaged to strengthen

STEM skills and spark creativity in the 21st-Century American workforce.

These 1½ -day conferences will showcase interdisciplinary methods and

techniques used by educators and artists, share current research into the

impact of arts-based approaches on science education, and explore the

connection between the arts and American economic competitiveness.
