The mural is a part of Kauffman’s Real World Learning-Pathways to Design track. Last school year, the students worked on a mural project for a real-world client, KC Stem Alliance.
The pathway includes a combination of students from Grandview, Ruskin, and Center, who are placed into groups. Each group was assigned with the task of designing a public mural that represented the combined concept of "STEM" and "inclusion". Student groups were notified at the start of the project that out of the three groups just one group would be chosen to have their mural installed on a large scale on the outside of the KC Stem Alliance's building. However, due to the incredibly competitive designs submitted by each team, KC Stem Alliance decided to include the remaining two designs as interior smaller-scale mural pieces inside of their building as well!
The students were recognized during an Art Installation Ceremony held on November 11.
