On this episode of the STEAMY Summer podcast series, we speak with Micah Brown, a Technology & Innovation Lead Teacher in Andover, Kansas who is also one of the founders of the Awesome Squiggles global art challenge.

Micah tells us why the A in STEAM is so essential, describes how Osmo Masterpiece is used in the Awesome Squiggles art challenge, explains why creativity and collaboration are such important skills across all STEAM subjects, shares her idea of a thriving classroom environment, and more.

Hot Tip: To close out the episode, Micah shares her number one “Hot Tip” for educators using Osmo learning tools to begin the next school year: have students read a book (fiction or nonfiction) that doesn’t have illustrations, and encourage them to use Osmo Masterpiece to be the illustrators of that book.
