Learn how the arts can strengthen science education and
spark creativity in the 21st Century American workforce at the Art of Science
Learning Conference, hosted by the California Institute of Telecommunications
and Information Technology (Calit2) on the UCSD Campus.
The Conference will bring together 200 scientists, educators, teaching artists,
business leaders and policymakers from around the country to explore ways in
which arts-based learning can enhance STEM skills and strengthen the innovative
capacity of the present and future STEM workforce.
Conference highlights will include keynotes by Harvey White, co-founder of
Qualcomm, and Larry Rosenstock, founder and CEO of High Tech High; and remarks
by Calit2 Director Larry Smarr, and Calit2 UCSD Division Director Ramesh Rao. Dr.
Todd Siler will lead a unique Metaphorming Workshop where participants will
collaboratively develop and model ideas using hands-on arts and science-based
techniques.
Conference participants will:
- Explore educational strategies that foster scientific literacy through arts-based experiential learning
- Learn about arts-based projects, initiatives and curricula that have successfully attracted students to STEM disciplines and retained their interest
- Experience first-hand innovative techniques that use the arts to develop creativity, critical thinking, collaborative and communication skills in learners of all ages
Conference participants will also have the opportunity to tour Calit2.
The Art of Science Learning is a National Science Foundation-funded initiative,
and the San Diego Art of Science Learning Conference (which follows similar
gatherings at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC and the Illinois Institute of
Technology in Chicago earlier this spring) is supported locally in
collaboration with the San Diego Science Alliance.
