Educators are invited to join us in October for a conversation on Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS). VTS is intended to transform the way students think and learn. Based in theory and research, VTS uses skilled facilitation of visual art discussions to significantly increase student engagement, performance, and enjoyment of learning. VTS is intended to empower individuals to broaden their capacity to make meaning, to shift education practice to prioritize facilitation of learner experience and engage in rigorous discussion through the lens of visual art. 

The theme of the 2022 NV STEAM Conference is Constructing Creativity. The Conference will be presented virtually, with an opening keynote with Doreen Gehry Nelson on Wednesday, February 2 from 4 – 5:30 pm.
