High TechCarnival Aims To Entertain, Inspire, and Educate 28
kkleiner writes "A self-described think tank of engineers and inventors called Two Bit Circus have completed a successful crowdfunding campaign to launch a high tech reinvention of carnivals from yesteryear. The campaign raised over $100k to launch the STEAM Carnival (as in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) to take place in Los Angeles and San Francisco next year. Showcasing robots, fire, and lasers, the goal of the carnival is to inspire young people into science and technology through these entertaining and educational events."

Carnival. Inspire young people.
How much of drawing and painting is describing our surroundings? How much of science is not that same thing at a different level? Is there any overlap?
How much is music steeped in math? What is not steeped in math? Why would you not use music to appeal to someone's mathematical curiosity?
I, for one, am happy to have a little entertainment in my education.
