Open House Reception
The show offers new visual evidence to the Orlando Regional Public that an “A” should be added to the current worldwide emphasis on STEM teaching to create STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering, ARTS and Mathematics.
“The knowledge, skills, attitudes and behavior students acquire from studying the arts have been identified by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills and other organizations as the skills needed to be successful in the global economy. These skills include creativity and innovation; critical thinking and problem solving; communication and collaboration; flexibility and adaptability; and social and cross cultural skills.” -- (Ohio Alliance for Arts Education)
ABOUT STEAM
ICubed is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project at UCF. One of the objectives of ICubed is to inform the UCF Community about scientific and engineering concepts. The project is accomplishing this objective by funding the STEAM Gallery which is an activity that encourages STEM faculty and their students to collaborate with Art and Design faculty and their students to create STEM inspired artifacts (sculptures, paintings, illustrations, and posters).
ICubed is successfully integrating the STEAM activities into existing sculpture, illustration and painting courses. Furthermore, through a team collaboration approach, involving STEM students and Art and Design students, posters, depicting STEM research, have been created and are being created. Select artworks from these efforts are being preserved by the ICubed project for a travelling exhibition displaying science inspired art. http://www.icubed.ucf.edu/STEAM.aspx
