Visual impairment is no barrier when technology and creativity intersect. The world needs blind innovators! The blind input data without visual association and download blueprints of their surroundings to format a mental database. They categorize patterns, textures, and conditions to perceive their location in space. They are able to capture the beauty of the world through poetry and predict future trends through past experience – all without visual access to the physical world they inhabit. This writing was possible because of collaboration with Angie Menjivar. Author/Artist Bio Diana Vizcarra is a 28-year-old Latina female – a visionary without sight. She lost 95% of her sight at the age of 23 to VKH Syndrome, an extremely rare autoimmune disease. In spite of this challenge, her vision as an evolving entrepreneur is ever-expanding; she views education as the bridge that connects her to others and she seeks to educate and inspire her team and clients with her story. New possibilities are on the horizon as she prepares to undergo a stem cell treatment and enthusiastically embraces the possibility of her optic nerve being regenerated to improve her sight. She is also venturing into the art of writing books to share her unique perspective","PeriodicalId":438783,"journal":{"name":"The STEAM Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134538789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Full STEAM Ahead: Creativity in Excellent STEM Teaching Practices","authors":"D. Henriksen","doi":"10.5642/STEAM.20140102.15","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5642/STEAM.20140102.15","url":null,"abstract":"This article emphasizes the value of creativity and arts-based learning in the sciences (STEAM education), using one example from a recent research study of creative and effective classroom teachers. The future of innovative thinking in STEM disciplines relies on breaking down the distinction between disciplines traditionally seen as “creative” like the arts or music, and STEM disciplines traditionally seen as more rigid or logical-mathematical (Catterall, 2002). The most exceptional thinkers in fields like science or math are also highly creative individuals who are deeply influenced by an interest in, and knowledge of, music, the arts and similar areas (Caper, 1996; Root-Bernstein, 2003; Dail, 2013; Eger, 2013). In light of this, STEAM must become an essential paradigm for creative and artistically infused teaching and learning in the sciences. I recently conducted a study of creative teaching practices among highly effective teachers (winners/finalists of the National Teacher of the Year program). This article looks at a single case drawn from this study, and considers the arts-based science teaching/learning employed by one of these teachers, Michael Geisen, the 2008 National Teacher of the Year award winner, and a middle school science teacher. Author/Artist Bio Dr. Danah Henriksen is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Educational Psychology & Educational Technology program, in the Michigan State University College of Education. Her current work and research interests focus on several strands of research related to creativity and technology, such as evaluation schemas for creative work, trans-disciplinary thinking, and creative-cognitive skills for teaching and learning. She is part of the Deep-Play Research Group in the MSU College of Education, which focuses on research related to creativity, trans-disciplinary thinking, and 21st century issues of teaching and learning. Dr. Henriksen teaches a variety of courses in the area of educational psychology and learning technology, with focuses on issues of design/creativity, technology for teaching, and the psychology of learning in technology-rich contexts.

The Broad Vision project explored the perception and interpretation of microscopic worlds, and investigated the benefits and challenges of working across disciplinary divides in a university setting. This article describes the three-phase model for interdisciplinary learning and research developed through the project, providing a valuable case study for inquiry based art/science education. Author/Artist Bio Heather Barnett is a visual artist, researcher and educator working with biological systems and scientific processes. With interests ranging across medicine, psychology, perception and visualization, projects have included microbial portraiture, cellular wallpapers, performing cuttlefish and self-organizing installations. She is ‘Learning & Teaching Fellow’ and ‘Senior Lecturer’ in Photographic Arts at the University of Westminster, London, United Kingdom and runs an independent arts practice working on art/science research collaborations and public art commissions.
