Join the Foss Waterway Seaport and Tacoma Art Museum for a new and exciting teacher workshop where we will combine science with art, allowing participating educators to experience interdisciplinary activities that embrace creative thinking while delving into both the scientific and the artistic world. Science allows one to see the beauty in discovery; art allows one to expand the mind. This workshop series is perfect for formal educators, non-formal educators, school district personnel and members of teacher-preparation programs. The workshop series will focus on "hands-on" learning and curriculum integration on topics such as ocean acidification, use of real-time data, underwater sounds, ROVs (Remote Operated Vehicles - make an ROV during this workshop), plankton, marine debris, and microplastics. Participants will experience one day of learning aboard our research vessel My Girl and three days on land, with two days of marine science and two days expanding that knowledge through visual interpretation with educators at the Tacoma Art Museum. Foss Waterway Seaport will provide teachers with the opportunity to collect and analyze data from Puget Sound, while also discussing the latest trends in science. At Tacoma Art Museum, teachers will create art inspired by the Northwest environment and hear about artists who work with marine debris art. Workshop participants will come away with many new ideas and a wealth of resources, plus this workshop series will be just plain fun! Plan to explore the intersection of art and science, and look at Tacoma Art Museum’s collections and exhibitions in a new way, in a partnered teacher professional development series. Come join us for this first ever combination of science and art...a learning event you just don't want to miss!
