Dr. An's visit focused on the Geraldine Dodge STEAM Grant at NRC adding new initiatives for the 2018-2019 academic year. This year Dr. An would like to focus on STEAM and/or Arts Integration in the Science/Art Classrooms. Dr. An envisions science and art teachers working collaboratively in a fashion that will add research data to her on-going research in this area.
Art teacher Ms. Aramayo, Science teachers Ms. Abaza and Mr. Chase, Technology teachers Ms. Selino and WPU PIR's Triada Samaras (STEAM Art PIR) and Betsy Golden (PIR) all gathered together with Dr. An to brainstorm (see images above).
