Software development is often seen as a very scientific discipline, generally viewed through the lens of a Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculum, but many of a programmer's tasks, like debugging edge cases and approaching novel problems, require creativity.

Based on my own experience writing music, I've come to agree that STEM might need some balance with the Arts and that STEAM is a valuable approach for innovative knowledge work.

In this talk, which will feature a live performance, we'll explore ways to feed and improve your creativity and apply it to problem-solving in your projects - whether they are part of your work or side projects.
