Should we be separating the arts and sciences? | Seoyoon Chang | TEDxSeisenInternationalSchool

Passionate about two seemingly unrelated fields, science and art, Seoyoon Chang is a junior at Seisen International School who has experienced various hardships when observing how often the arts tend to be neglected when regarding the sciences. With her recent enrollment as an IB student, Seoyoon faced the difficult decision of undertaking double science courses, in turn sacrificing the arts. Yet still, her passion for the arts remains; Seoyoon firmly believes that no one should be told that they consider art as a mere hobby. In her talk, Seoyoon will address the need to acknowledge the potential of STEAM education and encourage young women to pursue STEAM-related fields fearlessly through advocacy for STEAMinism.
