Great post about ScienceOnline2012 Sci-Art Show. I love the combination of art and science. The ability to tell a scientific story through art, metaphor, and imagery is a skill that I think we need to develop. This is a great example of why STEM needs to be STEAM. Not only does it allow us to tell the scientific story but it allows us to tell the story to mass audiences to at least get people involved in the process. 

Plus is an internet magazine which aims to introduce readers to the beauty and the practical applications of mathematics.  Interesting topics and free for now. Take advantage of the short topics to have students reading in mathematics and even some science topics!

"e 21st Century Learning Lab Designers category is aligned with National Lab Day. Winners will receive awards for learning environments and digital media-based experiences that allow young people to grapple with social challenges through activities based on the social nature, contexts, and ideas of science, technology, engineering and math. Digital media of any type (social networks, games, virtual worlds, mobile devices or others) may be used. Proposals are also encouraged for curricula or other experiences that link or connect to any game. Learning labs may be designed around new games or expand the potential of open source or commercial games."
