Brainstorming Session New York June 18, 5:30pm ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. **************************************************************************** * If you use arts resources or other hands-on creative approaches to teaching the sciences, math or engineering, we're holding a brainstorming session next Wed (June 18) in NYC for ideas about how best to pool and share approaches, resources, etc. We're planning a series of conferences on Arts-based Learning and Science Education in 2009 and thought it a good idea to think about how best to build a social network and pool resources/build a knowledge base to support science educators who have had good results from using arts approaches (or who harbor grand ambitions to do so). We'll meet 6/19 from 5:30pm to 6:30pm at 15 West 26th Street (2nd floor). Copious refreshments will be served. If you're interested and/or have questions contact me at [log in to unmask], or 646-442-4449. _____________________________ David Green Learning Worlds COMMUNICATING IDEAS 15 West 26th Street New York, NY 10010 Direct: (646) 442-4449 www.learningworlds.com [log in to unmask] *********************************************************************** For information about the Association of Science-Technology Centers and the Informal Science Education Network please visit www.astc.org.
