Institute 193 is proud to announce the launch of its inaugural STEM art education program in partnership with Battelle. The programming is aimed at enhancing experiential learning and programming opportunities for the community by offering immersive experiences that foster lifelong learning and personal development through the arts.
About The Program
The 5-day program focuses on students who are interested in gaining hands-on experience in STEM through the visual and digital arts. Students will be invited to participate in a 5-day workshop, led by STEM artists, that engages their problem-solving skills under a creative lens. The projects will include cyanotype printing, art gardening, audio production, making dyes from natural materials, and more.
The program is open to student groups in middle school and high school, with a focus on developing partnerships with organizations supporting underrepresented student groups, such as minority groups, at-risk youth, and homeless youth.
