Big Bang Conference | Big Picture Learning
July, 2019
Detroit, MI, United States
Earlier this year, Arts Letters & Numbers established a partnership with the global education organization Big Picture Learning to develop new projects in the Albany Area, as well as, Nationally and Internationally. Each year, Big Picture Learning holds ‘Big Bang’ an international conference on Student-Centered Learning. This conference is an intergenerational collaboration, where students and educators come together to learn from one another and from the community. This year Big Bang took place in Detroit, MI., in late July. Arts Letters & Numbers was asked to create an interactive map of key locations for the Out-learning experiences that were part of the conference. Arts Letters & Numbers Fellows Jennifer Park and Hyunbae Chang created a 10’ by 15.’ handmade map allowing the community to locate their visits through-out the gathering. Director David Gersten and Associate Director Frida Foberg represented Arts Letters & Numbers at this years Big Bang, building new foundations for future collaborations and expansions.
