CU Science Discovery: K-12 Data Driven Art Activities
CU Science Discovery has recently been experimenting with communicating scientific data using compelling, creative, and culturally-relevant arts and crafts. This website is intended to share examples of these projects in action as well as user-friendly data-sources and activities plans. You're encouraged to consider using this inspiration in your own programming. All resources are free, but please share what you've done and keep in touch!
