WriteOut? What is WriteOut?

Today is the first official day of WriteOut: a joint venture of by the National Writing Project and the National Park Service to encourage people to get outdoors. This year’s Write Out is STEAM- Powered (STEAM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) from October 9-23, 2022. It’s free. It encourages writing and making and sharing about your own experiences with the outdoors in a local event, on your own, or with the Write Out activities you can find here.

This year– besides encouraging people to explore local parks and public spaces through place-based writing– writing about the places and spaces you visit. Notebooks or field journals or lab notebooks — the first tools a scientist uses to observe, describe, illustrate, and annotate the objects, events, and places they study — will help inspire your writing, whether it is a labeled sketch, a poem, an essay, a scrapbook of annotated photos.

This blog is my digital WriteOut Journal, but I also have a small field journal– here’s the cover. You’ll see some of my drawings in this blog.

But remember: it’s your outdoor experience, so write what you see, smell, hear, and feel.

Today’s Prompt: #DS106  @ds106dc   #tdc3922 Make a STEAM Graphic for #writeout

STEAM in education means Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. I turned each of those into a symbol with a “nature” pattern background of flowers, leaves, blueberries, and bees. I included words to accompany the illustrations to explain the meaning of STEAM. What do you think?

How would you create a graphic for the STEAM WriteOut?
