Curiosity drives human inquiry and shapes how people learn, create, and solve problems across art, science, and technology. It draws individuals toward uncertainty and sustains engagement with complex ideas. This conference highlights the Confluence of Art, Science, Technology, and Curiosity is a space in which disciplinary boundaries blur and methods and interpretive frames move fluidly between fields.

This “confluence zone” enables new forms of reasoning and representation. The liberal arts offer interpretive depth, science provides structured investigation, and technology expands human capability through material and computational tools. Curiosity connects these domains by guiding inquiry and enabling shifts in understanding.

4. Workshops on curiosity-driven making, inquiry, and reflection.

5. Panels that bring together practitioners from academia, industry, education, arts, humanities, and community sectors.
