The mission of CMS is to stimulate and inform an outgoing discussion on the kind of student our educational system should be producing to meet the needs of society in the 21st century. The Creating Minds Symposium is the brainchild of Niel DePonte, President and founder of MetroArts Inc (MAI), an educational non-profit organization he founded in 1993. MetroArts’ slogan is Teaching for Creativity and was created to further critical thinking, creative processing, and problem solving skills in the classroom.
