The answer is not in the back of the textbook.
In fact, there is no textbook.
In today’s rapidly changing and globally focused society, how we learn is just as important as what we learn. Virginia Tech is embarking on a journey to explore a new way of learning.
The Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) will fuse art and technology as a platform for future careers and will generate research and learning environments that address real needs.
About ICAT
Vision
ICAT will foster the creative process, from imagination to innovation, to create new possibilities for exploration and expression.
Mission
ICAT will forge a pathway between transdisciplinary research and artistic output, scientific and commercial discovery, and educational innovation.
Process
The ongoing work of building and sustaining the institute itself will be an exemplar of the creative process of inclusion, co-creation, innovation, critical reflection, refinement, and iteration.
ICAT in the bigger picture
Renovations to Shultz Hall will provide cutting-edge space for the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology, a major component of the Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech.
Art galleries, a 1,260-seat performance hall, and laboratory and studio space for institute projects make up the center’s state-of-the-art facilities.
Exploring the infinite synergies between the arts and technology, the institute will provide an innovative platform for transdisciplinary research and scholarship for students of all ages.
