Poster - Project STEAM: Integrating Art with Science to Build Science Identities Among Girls

October 7, 2014 | Public Programs
Project STEAM aims to inspire art-interested girls to enter STEM careers through a series of activities, including summer academies that explore the biology and physics of color, science café-style presentations that feature the overlap between art and science, and the development of “kits” that can be used in informal and formal venues (Girl Scouts, science centers, and K-12 classrooms). Project research explores two questions: 1) How does an art-focused approach (STEAM) to teaching science support engagement in scientific practices such as experimentation, observation, and communication of scientific information; and 2) How does a STEAM approach support STEM-related identity shifts in young girls?
