KEEP ART ALIVE

During this program students will explore the many ways in which art is alive through an art curriculum that engages students through STEAM.

Throughout the program students will explore color therapy, anatomy, sculpture through community building, and environmental art installations. It can run for 30 weeks, 12 weeks, or 6 weeks.

HANDS-ON S.T.E.A.M WORKSHOPS

We have developed an interactive outdoor or virtual learning experience for Black and Brown students. The program provides four (4) different hands-on S.T.E.A.M activities in a green space (ideally) or virtually allowing students, schools, and community members to enjoy learning in a new way. Virtual programs will be supplied kits ahead of time. Our programs are designed around the national S.T.E.A.M standards, always incorporate the Expressive Arts, and touch on topics like Environmental Justice, Social Justice, and Holistic Health & Wellness. Our goal is to provide thought provoking programming to dismantle the misrepresentations of blacks in S.T.E.A.M fields. We want to educate students on the endless possibilities they have for their futures, give them a voice and platform to be valued and protected, and provide a creative and innovative approach to virtual and in-person learning. These programs are customizable. They can be (1) event or a series of programs.
