From STEM to STEAM: How the Arts Introduced Me to Science | Mady Thornquest | TEDxTwinFalls

Mady talks with us about what inspires her to dance and how being interdisciplinary is essential to understanding education.

Thanks to a love of creativity and critical thinking drawn from years of dance training and performance, Mady Thornquest finds herself advocating for a creative revolution in the valley. She is honored to represent the state of Idaho as Miss Idaho’s Outstanding Teen 2016 and promotes arts education through the STEAM movement. When she’s not speaking or dancing, Mady lives as a regular 15 year old, often drinking a Bowl of Soul while perusing a novel or dabbling in musical theatre, yoga, and catching up on homework.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
