Episode 24: Playing with Purpose

Is play as an activity inherently purposeful? In this episode of Art and Science Punks, Kate and Rob discuss play: playing in different contexts to relax, to be challenged, and to be inspired to make stuff. Kate and Rob also explore an art pick and science pick for some fun and useful resources to explore drawing with AI and Earth Day.
