Change over Time (C/T) challenges students to creatively represent learning in a tangible form; through the process of creating paper art sculptures to represent abstract concepts. C/T, a project-based learning activity, encourages students to think critically and creatively as they discover firsthand how art and science inform each other
But Why? Mae Jemison – astronaut, doctor, art collector, and dancer– advocates for integration of art and science. Jemison calls on educators to teach both art and science, and to create bold thinkers through teaching intuition and logic. Mae Jemison’s TED Talk
