Blending Science with Arts to Spark Curiosity for Learning
Blending Science with Arts to Spark Curiosity for Learning
Session ID#: 280719
Session Description:
This session explores the success of blending science with the arts to broaden science education and outreach. Art uniquely connects the complexity of science themes, helping diverse communities see science in everyday life. We invite abstracts highlighting how scientists, educators, and creatives use visual, performing, literary, or musical arts to develop engaging learning experiences. Submissions should detail objectives, collaborative processes, and resulting impacts. Topics may include the joint development of outreach materials, artistic approaches to science communication, and case studies where art sparks curiosity. This forum facilitates sharing lessons learned, exploring tools, discussing the value of multidisciplinary education, audience engagement, and showcasing evaluation results or learning outcomes. Join us to examine how the arts engage those intimidated by technical subjects, creating impactful opportunities that ensure all STEM learners can confidently see themselves in science.
