Art Expression Inc – ARTmosphere: Weather

ARTmosphere: Weather aims to provide an engaging STEAM after-school program to students based on a topic they can all relate to: weather. Weather has an impact on both our physical bodies and our mental well-being. We see an overwhelming need across academic, community and home environments to aid students with self-regulation. Each component of the program will include a hands-on activity that combines STEAM concepts. Topics include: temperature, heat index, and humidity; barometric pressure, clouds, wind and wind strength; the science of precipitation (rain, snow, hail); severe storm systems, survival, storm aftermath, and rebuilding; forecasting, Meteorology; atmospheric optics; and the physiological impact of weather. The atmosphere is a chaotic system in which small changes to one part of the system can produce larger effects on the overall system. We hope that ARTmosphere: Weather becomes one small, positive change in a student’s learning which causes a ripple effect. Worldwide, we have experienced weather events which have caused tremendous impacts on health, food supply, economics, travel, and security. Current events make this topic appropriate for today’s schools. The connection between self and environment is life-long. We are inspired to help children assimilate knowledge that is most relevant to them in a fun, interactive way.
