Integrate arts activities into the various steps of the Engineering Design Process or directly in a design challenge:
* Use the arts as a learning tool
* Use a musical work as a source to integrate or connect STEM subjects(explore technology, history, acoustics, patterns, rhythm and movement)
* Find the science in the art or science in art
* Use the arts as a way to increase empathy and emotional content - Neuroplasticity
* Link the history and criticism of the arts to other areas of curriculum, such as history, literature and the students’ role in the community.
* The arts offer exposure to ideas and emotions that cannot be expressed in words alone and the possibility for understanding the depth of the imagination.
* Create a story - through video or theatre about solving a real world problem: How do I purify water? How can I use green energy?
* Adding the arts to STEM content enables students to realize more easily that there is more than one solution to a problem.
* Students will use the arts in the creation of technologies through engineering.
* Students will use the arts in the marketing of technologies to include various forms of communication and presentations so that products are adopted by consumers.
* Students will explore and apply science and/or math content while using the arts as a learning strategy. Experience STEM!
* Arts experiences will be used to engage more students in STEM and the engineering design process.
* The arts serve as an on-ramp to STEM learning to increase participation of underrepresented populations in STEM.
