The Swope Art Museum has launched "Full STEAM Ahead," a year-long program integrating arts into STEM education for children and adults. The curriculum, developed by Dr. Sujata Gopalan, aims to foster creative thinking and innovative problem-solving by combining arts with STEM skills.
Experience STEAM in action! Each month, our enthusiastic instructors bring exciting lessons and hands-on activities to Ryves Youth Center and 14th and Chestnut Community Center. These engaging sessions are carefully aligned with K-12 standards, ensuring educational value while sparking curiosity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. By integrating creative art projects, we foster innovative thinking and problem-solving skills, making STEM subjects come alive for young learners in a fun and interactive way.
Learning knows no age limit! Our STEAM program extends beyond youth to embrace adult learners too. We believe in fostering creativity and knowledge at every stage of life. Each month, we offer engaging STEAM activities designed specifically for adults:
-
Insightful presentations by local experts on fascinating STEAM topics
-
FREE hands-on workshops that bring these concepts to life
​
These sessions provide a unique opportunity for adults to explore the intersection of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics in an accessible and enjoyable format. Whether you're a lifelong learner or just curious about STEAM, our adult program offers a stimulating environment to expand your horizons and unleash your creativity.
