New Director, Sara MacSorley, gave a Pecha Kucha talk at the URI Graduate Student Conference – Talking Beyond Disciplines: Rising Tides and Sea Change – to talk about our new partnership here at Green Street.
Sara was on a panel called Facilitating Creativity in Interdisciplinary and Multimodal Spaces. All the speakers touched on common themes like empowering students, building community, and the importance of creativity to solving problems. Her talk, Creating a Space for Art, Math, and Science to Play, focused on how art and science are the same at their core. Both fields are about asking questions, finding solutions, and exploring the world around us. Sara also talked about how arts integration is critical to teaching other topics like math and science because the arts can help kids learn important skills like observation, visual thinking, and pattern recognition.
The Greening Green Street project served as the example of how we are creating a space to bring art, math, and science together in our community.
