Arts at S&T

Art and technology intersect to create STEAM, allowing our students, staff, faculty, and alumni to work toward creative and transformational solutions for local and global challenges. Listed below are some of the ways our students come together in creative endeavors to hone their skills and enrich their experiences at S&T.
