Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

One of the toughest subjects to teach is anatomy and physiology. While we can use textbooks and even dissections to "see" how our bodies work, it's still difficult to build understanding of how all the parts come together, or how they are affected by disease. To help my students truly demonstrate their understanding, I'll ask them to channel their inner fashion designer. With the fabrics I'm requesting in the first project, they'll make systems on our insides visible on the outside. With this second proposal, they will integrate sewable electronics into their hats, shirts, or other clothing to add interactivity, movement, light, and sound to their creations.

STEM and the arts are two sides of the same coin.

As artists in this project, students will be challenged to communicate visually, in language, and with analogies about the systems they're representing. As scientists, they will research how the systems interact, work, and in the case of disease, sometimes don't work. When STEM and art come together, there are multiple ways both the artists and the audience engage with the work. Help us bring the basics of life, to life with STEM and arts!
