Impact Areas

Teachers mix science and art in Scientific Studio

In Scientific Studio, teachers of different grade levels and subjects participated in art projects that serve as a gateway to STEAM. The teachers who participated in the seminar got a firsthand look at why these types of lessons are so fun by completing the projects themselves, discussing why their students would enjoy them and different applications for different grade levels.
