I love that statement! This post speaks so clearly to the mutual connectivity of art and STEM, and to the need for education to cease being a series of silos – even ever-widening silos – and to embrace all the richness that comes from that interconnectivity. Thank you for your eloquent, thoughtful post, Sammy! If schools and systems follow your lead, our students will, indeed, bring a “much wider range of skills, knowledge, talents, and methods to their work.”
