Artist in Residence - Yerington Elementary
Earlier this school year, YES teacher Kerry Steven wrote a grant to provide a STEAM experience for the first and fourth grade classes at Yerington Elementary School. The artist-in-residence selected was Judith Dierkes. Her focus is bringing the arts into STEM education by using Squishy Circuits to incorporate LED light into the student’s artwork. She visited the school during the month of March. First grade students explored adding light waves to art by using LED lights in a dough sculpture. Fourth grade students learned about electrical current while making a sculpture that lit up using LEDs.
