This event is a celebration of innovation and process at the nexus of science, engineering, arts, and design (SEAD). The event features projects funded by ICAT, projects from transdisciplinary courses, projects with ICAT-affiliated faculty, and community projects that work at the nexus of SEAD.
This year’s theme is Perspective, as we explore the intersection of science, engineering, arts, and design from many perspectives shaped by academic discipline, social history, unique life experiences, and technological advances. The theme is embodied in over 60 experiences, including a panel discussion, performances, and expo-style exhibits involving over 200 presenters. Experience the day at both the Moss Arts Center and at the Media Building in the university’s Creativity + Innovation District.
The Panel Discussion is titled "Perspectives on a career at the nexus of science, engineering, arts, and design". Four professionals in creativity and innovation discuss careers in creativity and innovation from multiple perspectives in the lifetime of a career. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Lisa McNair, director of the Center for Research in SEAD Education, and a special guest high school student.
Admission is free and all are welcome.
