<br />ACADEMIA DE ARTE YEPES:
<br />In 1992, Painter/Muralist George Yepes, founded the Academia de Arte Yepes, as the first free mural art
<br />academy for young students from Los Angeles. The Academia de Arte Yepes started as an 8-year after -school
<br />mural art: program for 10 year old students from local schools in East Los Angeles. Soon in 1993, trailblazing
<br />twenty years ahead of time, the Academia de Arte Yepes evolved into a series of interdisciplinary after -school
<br />programs. Now, in 2021, merging science, technology, and mathematics to gain a quality education and real -
<br />world applicable skills does not seam like a new concept. But way back in 1993, twenty years before the
<br />STEAM Program (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics) took form nationally across
<br />US schools, the Academia de Arte Yepes in East Los Angeles in 1993 had already began to produce a series of
<br />ten interdisciplinary Art, Science, and Space murals with NASA (The National Aeronautics and Space
<br />Administration). In 1993 the Academia de Arte Yepes answered the national mandate set by NASA to
<br />cultivate and inspire the next generation of explorers. To generate renewed interest in science, technology,
<br />engineering, and mathematics, the Academia de Arte Yepes in partnership with NASA, the European Space
<br />Agency, and the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana: established and implemented a fourteen -year National Educational
<br />Pilot Program:"The Marriage of Art, Science, and Technology". For further
