In this Workshop, Makers will manipulate gears, observe how they interlock, learn about torque and how it is used to turn gears, and arrange the gears on their board to make an interactive display. They will explore how simple machines like the wheel and axle in the gear mechanism illustrate leverage. Creators will see how the difference in size changes the way the gear train works, either generating more force, or more speed. They will apply math concepts to what they have observed with ratios. And finally, Creators will examine how these concepts apply to real life, as they identify gears and simple or complex machines in their environments.  CURRICULUM IS SOLD SEPARATELY.

The Moss Wall workshop brings colorful elements and varied textures from the natural world into the hands of our Creators. Giving Makers the opportunity to hold, manipulate, arrange, and design elements to create something beautiful will develop in them an appreciation for nature. We want to encourage students to have a sensitivity to the natural elements, which are readily accessible around them and are excellent for fostering curiosity and wonder. Additionally, by interacting with nature, students can recognize the positive feelings they experience (biophilia effect). The Moss Wall display will be an excellent reminder of nature’s beauty and the role students can play in bringing this beauty to the forefront for others to appreciate. In this workshop, children will learn about the oldest plant on the earth, moss! Creators will discuss living and preserved moss and learn about plantscaping. They will sketch and design their moss wall and discuss the biophilia effect. Makers are encouraged to include additional preserved nature elements in their design, and forage for local elements if possible!  This student kit will give children hands-on experience working with preserved moss and colorful dried flowers with different textures, colors, and shapes.  Included in kit: 8x8 Wood Canvas Frame Colored Pencils 4 oz. Bottle of Glue Green Moss Assortment of Colored Moss 1 Package of Assorted Preserved Flowers Each kit is designed for one student over 2, one-hour classes.

In this workshop, Makers will learn about recycling and the science behind paper. They will compile paper scraps and convert them into a malleable pulp which they will then form into a bookmark. Once they have mastered the pulp process, they will also incorporate seeds into the pulp and mold their pulp into shapes that will become seed pods that can be planted or gifted.  These workshops will give Makers hands-on experience in understanding the various forms that paper can take. They will participate in a practical recycling project that demonstrates how used material can be reused in different ways. The kit provides enough supplies to create endless amounts of paper seed pods - just supply the paper! The curriculum covers the importance of recycling and the impact it can have on our world. It also reviews some basic planting techniques, prompts students to think about where we see recycling in other areas, and introduces some cool facts related to recycling. There are extension activities for additional learning. Main Vocab Words: Recycling, Pulp  Each kit is designed for one student over 2, one-hour classes.  Subject: BiologyAges: 4-10 KITS ARE SOLD SEPARATELY.
