How does STEAM improve the way that science and engineering are taught ?
That is a big one. Any scientist or engineer who happens to have a side interest in
the arts, may indeed find discussions of art appropriate for their classes. But these
folks are rare, I am afraid, based on my experience with my science/engineering
colleagues.
A good start is inviting the scientist into the arts playground and put aside the focus on
technology. So, if you are an artist, ask a scientist how they interpret your work through
their way of seeing things. If you run a museum, invite the scientist to give a talk or
make comment on how the objects and space can be viewed from the sciences. With more
of this sort of activity, I hope that science and engineering can see value in the arts. Right
now, it barely moves the needle for most scientists teaching science. For those of us who
love the arts and the connections with science, we need to recognize that we are preaching
to the choir.
I've just posted something along these lines of Visiting Scientist here:
