Today I was preparing all day for the special projects class I am teaching this quarter — NanoBioTech + Design and I figured out a way to deliver my lectures by addressing every topic with STEAM reconfigured — Science, Technology, Ecology, Arts + Mindfulness. Engineering and Mathematics are already in Science and Technology. They are replaces with Ecology and Mindfulness. First lecture is on the complexity of the PENCIL

Science – carbon / graphite / graphite

Technology – microscopy / industry

Ecology – impact on the environment

Arts – artist / designers / architects  — examples

Mindfulness – exercise / assignment — draw and write with a pencil all that was addressed.
