The Urban Garden Class

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. Be sure to also add one kit for each child to your cart.

In this workshop, Makers will learn about tinkering, building and engineering using PVC pipes.     Creators will learn about PVC and a brief history of its use in manufacturing. They will Tinker with the materials, imagining fantastic creations as they familiarize themselves with the various fittings. Creators will Build a form with their pipes, using the included idea sheet as a guide. Finally, they will use their pipes to Engineer a fully functioning Air Propulsion Launcher! Afterwards, Creators explore the topic of physics, as they figure out how to make their marshmallows fly! They will learn all about Propulsion as they launch various projectiles to see what materials fly the farthest. This workshop is a fun exploration of Engineering!   Main Vocab Words: Tinker, Build, Engineer Each kit is designed for one student over 2, one-hour classes.  Subject: EngineeringAges: 4-10 KITS ARE SOLD SEPARATELY.
