Explore the intersection of science and art through crafty experiments and messy projects! Each day we'll try a different experimental project that combines science and art-making. Along the way we'll make homemade color-changing ink, blow bubbles, and paint with ice. We're gonna make a mess!

About the Artist-Teacher

Hi, I’m Rachel Sargent Mirus, a STEAM teaching artist and science writer. Originally trained in biology, I worked in research labs and museums across the country, and along the way I became interested in science writing and education. As a teaching artist, I focus on integrating art and science. As a teacher, I aim to inspire observation, experimentation, and creativity in learners of all ages.

I've run workshops for organizations as diverse as North Branch Nature Center in Montpelier, the Harvard Museum of Natural History online, and Across Roads Center for the Arts in Waterbury Center. I’m on the Vermont Teaching Artist roster. You can read more about my curricula on the Teaching Artist page.
