STEM Fluency Lab Reunion

Participants in the 5-day residential PAL/Ignition STEM Fluency Lab in November 2009 got together again this month. Lab teachers, artists and scientists met at a one-day reunion at the New Art Exchange, Nottingham, to share what they had been doing since the Lab.

Getting back together after a period of time is an essential part of the PAL Lab methodology. It gives everybody the chance to re-acquaint themselves with the friendships, collaborations and journeys that began in the residential Lab. People bring examples of work and ideas for activities they want to explore. This time together gives everyone the opportunity to reflect on what differences the Lab has made to their practice and what happens next. For many the reunion is the point when the Lab has its deepest impact.

The reunion was co-directed by Steve Mesure of the Creative Science Consultancy and Heidi Gale from Ignition.
