Greetings All You Mavens of Cloth,
Welcome back to BLOCK.
This week the focus is on STEAM education - something near and dear to me. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math, and I'm involved in supporting this type of integrated approach to preK-12 education here in Nevada. .
I'm excited to share a new curriculum I designed, New Shapes of Meaning, for this year's STEAM Teacher Training Series, hosted by the Desert Research Institute's Green Power program, in partnership with Nevada Museum of Art.
Link here for access.
Also worth mentioning, for any of you Nevada educators out there, the Nevada Governor's STEM Advisory Council has just made the STEAM working group, Integrating Arts & Culture in to STEM Education, a permanent sub-committee on the council!
Peace my friends. And resist.

STEAM Showcase:
Improvisation, mapping climate change, and the fibers of physics.
Diane Melms, is an artist out of Anchorage, Alaska, who uses her own hand dyed fabrics for her improvisational compositions.
All the credit needs to go to Symmetry for my discovery of Kate Findlay's quilts (above) about the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Alicia Merrett, from the U.K., creates works of art that read like aerial maps, of animated cities, undergoing climate change.
Thanks for visiting BLOCK!
