Science

Science is a way of finding truths and patterns in nature through observation, experimentation, and the scientific method. It is both a body of knowledge and a process for building that knowledge. From the time of Leonardo daVinci, even before, art has been part of that process. Our Confluence storytellers demonstrate the connections.
