Get your creative juices flowing! Compete in the Annual ACerS PCSA Creativity Competition!
Combining both science and art into any one individual's skill set is important because it can help nurture creativity in research and cultivate innovation in the workplace. For this reason, ACerS President's Council of Student Advisors (PCSA) organizes innovative-artistic initiative in the form of a creativity competition for students.
This competition serves to encourage the harmonious coexistence of art and science in the ceramics and glass community. Students who dabble in ceramic and glass-related arts either for their research or just for fun are encouraged to share their talent!
Possible creative entries:
- Glassblowing
- Stained glass
- Pottery
- 3-D printing: Ceramic or glass
- Artistic painting of a ceramic-related image
- Digital 3-D rendering of a ceramic-related process
- Other ceramic or glass-related forms of art
Awards
Each of the awardees will be recognized at the MS&T23 Student Awards Ceremony.
