The PASEO 2018 Education Program

The Paseo Project works with community partners to provide educational programming year round, exposing our youth to STEM in the classroom - enhanced through the creative processes of local and visiting Paseo artists. Traditionally built around the annual PASEO festival’s theme and STEMarts LAB, visiting PASEO artists provide in-school demos for young people.

STEMarts @ PASEO 2018:

STEMarts@PASEO Youth Program builds experiences – workshops, internships and interactions – with PASEO festival’s visiting artists. For PASEO 2018, in addition to in class room workshops, events were also centered around the Space Cloud! Participating classrooms from around Taos County were transported to the Space Cloud in Kit Carson Park for a sneak preview of the magnificent award winning pavilion designed by three young architects from Madrid, Spain. Space Cloud installation artists will be there to talk provide demos and give students a behind the scenes look on how the work was created.
