------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Are you interested in the arts/STEM connection? Do you wonder:

 - How this alliance could be a strategy for achieving your institution’s goals?
 - How you could integrate art and artistic processes into your institution?
 
Join ASTC's Taking STEAM to TASC Community of Practice on Wednesday, January 15th at 1:00pm Eastern for a webinar, "STEAM: Are You Ready?" This webinar will be an introductory look at the power and potential of an arts/STEM interface in museum settings. It will feature Peter Richards, one of the pioneers of the movement, who will share the importance of the arts/STEM connection, how it was integrated into the museum culture, and the benefits he sees from this intersection. His presentation will be followed by a Q&A.
