STEMArtists
The heart of the STEMarts methodology is the way we build projects around artists and their unique way of knowing. Featured artists and interdisciplinary collectives share their processes--which inherently integrate science and technology with their diverse creative, cultural and academic backgrounds--and thus create powerful stories that directly inspire and engage our youth. This also provides participating artists with a new contextual framework for their work where teachers and students can delve deeply into their artistic vision, process and research.
The STEMarts methodology is unique in that it is aggregates resources and content from diverse sources around the topic being explored, while providing curriculum tools to guide teachers and students to the resources. In this way, the content is delivered authentically from the source, whether it be the artist, the scientist or the cultural specialist. Through curriculum tools such as the STEMarts WIKI we harness the collective knowledge available online to deepen the educational experience, bringing cutting-edge STEAM resources to the classroom.
The artists below have been collaborating on several sci-art installations over the years and currently on the Space Messengers. Contact us if you are an artist working at the intersection of art, science and technology and would like to collaborate: stemartslab@gmail.com
