This year the symposium offered a focus on art-based learning as an integral part of STEAM education. Teachers will be able to collaborate and learn strategies that emphasize Art at the core of formidable student learning within interdisciplinary experiences in STEAM instruction.  Sessions will examine technology and art lessons that support the creative objectives within the context of STEAM education. We welcomed keynote speakers George Steele and Erin Riley.
