Recent efforts at improving K-12 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education emphasize the importance of learning STEM through engaging in the epistemic practices of STEM. These practices, identified in both the Common Core and the Next Generation Science Standards, highlight ways in which scientific or mathematics concepts, for example, are best learned when engaging in scientific or mathematics practices. Developing STEM learning identities and interests is also more likely to emerge when engaged in authentic STEM practices. This chapter discusses a framework we developed to explore how out-of-school time programs integrated art and science to leverage the epistemic practices of each. We applied the framework in studies of six programs. Three of the programs explicitly integrate the arts into STEM learning contexts. Three of the programs are not STEM specific, but situate STEM as an epistemic tool within youth programs otherwise focused on the fine arts, journalism, or community activism. Drawing on sociocultural perspectives, this chapter illuminates how overlapping yet distinct epistemic practices of the arts and sciences can be leveraged to deepen student learning.
