K-12 Partnership Summer Institute is a virtual exploration of art and science

The W.K. Kellogg Biological Station K-12 Partnership Summer Institute is going virtual in 2021. This year, the focus is on the intersections of science and art, exploring how the two can both inspire and explain each other.

The institute will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, June 22-24, on Zoom. It’s open to K-12 teachers and informal educators—apply by Friday, June 4.

• Wednesday, June 23: Writing your story, featuring presenters from Read and Write Kalamazoo
• Thursday, June 24: In the eyes of the beholder, featuring presenters from the MSU Broad Art Museum
