Abstract

In this chapter, I describe the conference where I met scientists who are doing interdisciplinary work using the arts in teaching Science. A conversation with an architect who plays with the building blocks of materials and biology will help with understanding different aspects of interdisciplinary work in teaching the STEAM disciplines.
