Based in Providence, RI, RISD is one of the best and oldest art schools in the nation. It has an intense focus on producing innovative, entrepreneurial artists and thinkers. As such, it has taken strides to promote STEAM-- a congressional initiative to integrate "A"rt into traditional STEM education. In 2012, RISD partnered with Maharam to establish the Maharam STEAM Applied Arts Fellowship to encourage students to pursue STEAM-integrated internships with non-profits or government organizations in an endeavor to effect change in public policy.
