Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, schools across the U.S. were cutting back on arts education. However, studies have shown that students who have arts included in their core curriculum not only see improvements in reading and math but also experience lower suspension and dropout rates. Why is it important for students to be exposed to art and culture? What kind of impact does it have on their learning? How can educators use online platforms to immerse their students in art and culture?    

In this episode, Kevin discusses the possibilities of arts education with tech with the founder and director of Open-ended Design, Suhair Khan.
