Thanks for Viewing--See you in September!

 This year has been an exciting first year for our blog.  We have showcased the activities that are going on in those Paterson Public Schools in which we have implemented the William Paterson University STEAM grant.  This grant, which has been funded by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, demonstrates that the integration of visual art with science, technology, and math increases student achievement.  Above all, the work of the students, teachers, and professors in residence emphasizes the most important aspect of student learning, which is CREATIVITY. 

We are happy to be able to report that funding has been renewed for the next school year, and that we will be continuing our efforts in 2014-2015.  We will be planning new activities over the summer months.

We are putting our blog to sleep for the next two months, and will resume posting in September.  Meanwhile, we leave with a few pictures that encapsulate the very essence of STEAM:  some student portraits that evolved from their 3D printing experience, a three-part activity that took place on May 13th, May 19th, and May 27th.
