Anna van Suchtelen and Marc van Mil combine their artistic and educational backgrounds to form an artist-scientist team for Eureka’s creativity program. Their workshop Creativity and Science highlights the false dilemma of considering art and science as binary opposites. The core theme of the workshop is that creativity is not a talent that one either has or does not have: it is a tool that can be activated and deactivated. Through participating in hands-on group activities, students learn when, why, and how creativity can be deployed in their professional lives.
