STEAM Ahead! Using Art and Science to Engage Underserved Communities
Since 2012 NW Noggin has been using art to teach traditionally underserved communities about how their brains work. Working primarily with academically at risk students, rural populations, and homeless youth, we have taken our unique collaboration of art and science from Portland Public Schools to rural Washington and Oregon, all the way to Washington DC. Join us as we describe some of the challenges and strategies for using arts integration to engage with diverse groups. Our participants benefit from guided lessons, artistic and scientific perspectives, and hands-on STEAM activities led by our enthusiastic volunteers.
