The National Science Foundation Presents: Fostering STEAM—Combining Art and Science to Promote Equity
Wednesday, November 7, 2018 | 7-8 pm ET
FREE for NAEA Members; $49 for non-members
Learn how STEAM—science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics—can promote equity and build identification with science and art! Discover a series of hands-on lessons that embody these principles by engaging students in content that covers art and science together. These activities connect the visual arts with biology, chemistry, and optics and, in turn, promote a STEAM mindset. Content is aligned with both art and science national standards.

Sarah Masterman has more than 20 years of teaching experience, working with students in grades 3 through 12. Throughout most of those years, science has been her primary focus, particularly for students in grades 4 through 8. She first learned about Colors of Nature—a project that emphasizes the connection of art and science and is supported by the National Science Foundation—when her daughter attended one of the first Colors of Nature camps in Fairbanks. She subsequently attended a workshop for teachers and made use of several of the Colors of Nature activities in her classes.
