The Art of Science-El Arte de la Ciencia

2009 ASTC Annual Conference 

Hosted by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History

Fort Worth, Texas

October 31-November 3, 2009

 

 

The 2009 ASTC Annual Conference will explore how the blending of art and
science can engage people of all cultures and provide powerful learning
experiences. We are particularly interested in session proposals that
contemplate one or more of the following questions:

 

. Community: How does your organization tap into the rich art, cultural, and
creative resources of your community and apply them to your learning
environments?

 

. Creativity: How can science centers nurture creativity-a human trait that
crosses all ages and cultures-and use it as an entry point into science,
mathematics, engineering, and technology learning?

 

. Pioneers: Who is out there crossing the boundaries of art and science, and
what are these pioneers discovering along the way?

 

. Sustainable Diversity: How are science centers addressing changes in
community demographics, as well as the challenges of reflecting these
changes in our audiences, staffing, board leadership, and programs?

 

. Leadership: What new skills do science center professionals need to hone
as they bridge today's best practices into tomorrow's uncertainties?

 

. Learning Theory: What are we learning about how individuals learn, how
families learn, and how different cultures learn?

 

. Resources: How will we balance the need for greater contributed income for
operations with the ongoing need for funding to recapitalize our
institutions?
