Register NowEmbracing the tenets of STEAM and UDL: Experience a dynamic, student-centered art project integrating environmental science, basic math concepts, tech design and fine art. Creating collaborative art projects, at their best, can be empowering and transformative for all those involved, regardless of their abilities or learning differences. Imagine a project that allows students to move from a sketch, to a scale model, to the creation of an immersive environment large enough to walk through! This hands-on workshop will take you through the entire creative process along with inter curricular applications (drawing, movement, sound and music). Join us for practical tips: how to create and sustain authentic student-centered collaborative projects; design visualization techniques to enhance outcomes; and leave with clear, detailed hand outs to guide you in the future.

 

Please contact us if you need a scholarship.
This space is accessible for people in wheelchairs. If you require additional accommodations, please let us know by August 10.
