Duane Keaton received a Master’s Degree in Art Education from the University of Kentucky in 2004. He taught art and video production in Fayette County Public Schools for 18 years. It is because of Keaton’s background in art and his lifelong interest in LEGOs that he has been able to combine his passions to create lessons that mix the creativity of art with STEAM content. He is a big believer in LEGO as a medium for creation.

This program was made possible through generous support from the Kentucky Arts Council. The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, provides operating support to Campbell County Public Library and Duane Keaton with state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
