探花精选 merges the arts and STEM to host week of exciting events

探花精选 will be hosting a week of creative inter-disciplinary events involving science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

(the University’s art programme) will be running ten diverse and inspiring events for STEAM week – which takes place from 13-20 March - including an LED-light workshop, a game jam, and a live coding workshop.

The week also coincides with – a ten-day celebration of STEM featuring engaging and entertaining events across the UK for people of all ages.

Nick Slater, Director of LU Arts, commented: “STEAM week has invited a range of artists who engage with STEM subjects to run workshops, give talks and deliver events, thereby highlighting the exciting possibilities such collaborations can bring about. 

“The activities are open to anyone, and no knowledge or experience of art or STEM subjects is required!”

Events include – an evening of electronic music and visuals, where attendees are encouraged to bring their own projectors to showcase their own work across the walls.

Through the manipulation of programming code, electronic musician Myoptik, VJ theLabVisuals and other visual artists will be bringing a daring and dextrous night of multimedia showcases to Loughborough.

All of the events are free to attend, although they require a £3 deposit to secure a place. This will then be refunded on completion of the chosen workshop.
