No spacesuit, helmet or rocket required for this trip into our solar system! Take a virtual journey to Saturn's largest moon Titan, and take your first steps to becoming a scientific illustrator. Science and art both play important roles in how we understand our complex world. Art can also provide a valuable access point to STEM content for students who do not identify as "scientists." In this fun, interactive session, get a taste of a Virtual Science Academy program from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and create your own scientific illustration. Join us to explore why methane rains from Titan’s sky, why the atmosphere is bright orange, explore new resources for STEAM learning, and see how virtual programs can transport you and your students millions of miles away from home. The Virtual Experiences team from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science will be your guides on this fun, creative expedition where we will share some tips on how to successfully blend authentic scientific data and skills with art projects and techniques to help students create lasting connections with STEM content.
