About Us - Sutton STEAMS Ahead
About Sutton STEAMs Ahead
Sutton STEAMs Ahead is an exploration of science and art through local culture.
Art and science are often perceived as two separate areas. However, when studied together, the similarities between the two and the impact of each on the other, become clear: creativity is required to make scientific breakthroughs, and art is often informed by scientific knowledge. Ultimately, research scientists, tech developers, engineers, mathematicians and artists, all seek ways to make sense of and respond to the world around us.
Inspired by these similarities, Sutton STEAMs Ahead will see a year-long calendar of cultural activity with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) at its core. The programme will engage communities and visitors in an explosion of creativity across the borough, whilst inspiring and nurturing future scientists and artists alike.
