ART OF STEM
The power of creative innovation
Responding to the way children learn
In 2024, we initiated our “Art of STEM”, STEAM initiative. This creative learning space has expanded our capacity to engage younger children and girls ages 6-14 yrs., in STEM Education.
Through the use of art we developed a more creative pathway to work with the children’s different learning styles and interest.
Art offers a medium of learning that gives the children an opportunity for exploration, exposure, individual and collaborative engagement in STEM through the practice of creative and expressive techniques.
​
We believe this integration is a powerful and foundational
tool in STEM Education.
Through art the children learn the influence of the creative process in STEM. Art teaches the children how to systematically engage in all components of STEM in a singular project or design idea.
Tapping into their innate skills, they can skillfully process Science( origins of matter), Technology ( digital systems), Mathematics (numerology and rhythm), Engineering (development of designs, built and structural applications).
​
This approach to STEM strengthens their learning capacity, through sight (color), touch ( material feel), smell (paints, environments), rhythm (sound integration), collaboration (external and internal participation),
capacity (beyond the norm or expectation. Limitless)
Through Art of STEM learning activities, the children can move more fluidly through concept, exploration, and creation seamlessly without limitation of expression.​
​​​
This learning process is designed to specifically increase their capacity to use all their senses while understanding and applying the creative foundation of STEM holistically.
"There’s an artificial line between STEM and the arts. Not recognizing this simple truth is as detrimental as not recognizing the diversity in humanity."

Telling stories from her own education and from her time in space, she calls on educators to teach both the arts and sciences, both intuition and logic, as one -- to create bold thinkers.
