The Wright Center for Innovative Science Education is sponsoring a
workshop for high school educators this August entitled Art and Science in
Education.  The audience will be high school art teachers and science
teachers and the ultimate goal is three-fold:

1. to provide information toward general enrichment in both art and
science, with a focus on the complementary nature of these two
disciplines.
2. to share ideas about how to use art and science in the curriculum as an
interdisciplinary approach to teaching in both the art and the science
classroom.
3. to provide teachers with a perspective on possible career paths for
students who have expressed an interest in the combination of these
fields.

We are trying to feature all types of art and science through
informational talks and hands-on activities.  As the coordinator of this
workshop, I thought I'd solicit any advice, ideas for presenters,
activities, or just insightful tidbits of information I may want to throw
at the participants while I also try to fill the role of MC.  Any
thoughts?

By the way, if any of you or your friends are high school science/art
teachers and would be interested in attending this conference, I will be
starting a list and sending out the brochure/application form (as soon as
I finish it), so let me know who you are.

Thanks, April
