It is time for politicians and educational institutions to realize that creativity is required to solve the complex challenges society faces, and that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) alone are not enough. The flexible thinking, risk taking, and creative problem-solving techniques that are taught through Art and Design are needed for innovation in today's changing world.
I wholeheartedly encourage the support of House Resolution 319: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that adding Art and Design into Federal programs that target the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields encourages innovation and economic growth in the United States.
That's why I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives on this very subject.
