North Carolina Museum of Art

The North Carolina Museum of Art will collaborate with a community of educators, students, and a national panel of experts to investigate the unique role of art museums in supporting tomorrow's learners in North Carolina and beyond. The museum will experiment with a STEM- (Science, Technology Engineering, and Math) based and art-infused design process to first identify questions, challenges, needs, and gaps among key audiences and within the existing research and literature. Based on those findings, the museum will plan, prototype, and refine a scalable menu of programs and their needed resources to deepen learning across the disciplines for pre-kindergarten to college students and teachers. As a result, the museum community at large will better understand an art museum's role in a changing educational environment.
