‘Play Day’ Explores How Art Can Improve Science Education
“Hundreds of local educators descended on Balboa Park Thursday afternoon to explore how artistic creativity can lead to innovation in science education. The ‘Play Day for Educators’ was sponsored by Art of Science Learning, an initiative funded by the National Science Foundation to spark creativity in science education. San Diego is one of three cities nationwide with an incubator program to develop ideas. The event was organized to showcase the San Diego incubator teams’ projects.”

Innovative projects connect community with art and science
“Art and science many times are worlds apart, but for the 10 San Diego teams that are part of Art of Science Learning, art and science are inseparable. Art of Science Learning is a National Science Foundation-funded initiative that is challenging three incubators, one of them in San Diego, to use a new arts-based curriculum to solve civic challenges in each region.”
