Increasingly, educators are understanding the value of interdisciplinary learning in eco-literacy, particularly the STEM to STEAM movement that integrates art into the STEM learning process. This webinar explores how to develop impactful STEAM programs to influence the next generation of leaders.
You’ll learn:
