Why the Arts Matter in STEM Education

My tour of a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) grade school in Akron, Ohio, serves as my launching point for a look at arts education–and the effort to add an A for arts to make STEAM–in a guest post I wrote for Artist Think. This thought-provoking blog is produced by visual artist, writer, and educator Carrie Ellen Brummer, and I was honored when she asked if I’d like to contribute to her series on arts and education. She and I welcome your thoughts on the subject, so swing on by!
