Young Audiences Arts for Learning STEAM Caucus Briefing

May 08, 2015 | marcus@ya.org

 

Young Audiences Arts for Learning (YA) will host a STEAM briefing in cooperation with the Congressional STEAM Caucus, co-chaired by Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici and Congresswoman Elise M. Stefanik. STEAM is an arts-in-education initiative to add the Arts and Design to the national agenda of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). The goal is to foster the innovation that comes with combining the mind of a scientist or technologist with that of an artist or designer in today's youth. This briefing will showcase the best STEAM K-12 programming from the YA network with two engaging & interactive presentations from YA affiliates in Indiana and Chicago, Illinois.

The STEAM briefing will be moderated by Haden Land, Vice President of Research and Technology at Lockheed Martin.
