Greetings
The SETI AIR program is launching its latest residency! The Beyond Silos residency supports art educators as they explore new ground in transdisciplinary pedagogy. This STEAM Education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) residency connects the SETI AIR program’s research-based creative practice with the Institute’s strong commitment to education and outreach. The title Beyond Silos references the residency’s aim to disrupt the disciplinary boundaries of art and science, in effect “de-siloing” education to cultivate a more holistic and inclusive teaching approach that benefits everyone.

Wishing you clear skies, Bettina
