“Not only were the kids making the robots, but the robots were making the kids” - Shoosty
People Making Robots / Robots Making People Published March 29th, 2016 Stephen Shooster I recently joined a robotics club to help the kids learn how to build websites. The club competes regularly, making it fun and a much broader challenge. Robotics clubs love to tout STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. From the perspective of a Fine Artist, I see things differently. To prove this point, I made a digital oil painting. I was surprised as the series unfolded to realize that not only were the kids making the robots, but the robots were making the kids, which is much more poignant.
Anyway, I am now touting STEAM - Science, Technology, Engineering. ART and Mathematics, every chance I get. After all, who wants to live in a cold world where art and design don’t take the front center of everything we do? Sometimes, the sheer beauty alone is enough to carry the whole project. Art allows us to connect the pieces of our civilization, from ancient myths to current technology and science fiction. It is crucial to the process.
