AGES: Families with children ages 8 and up
DIY arts, crafts & projects using experiments, machines & design.
Build a simple bot to draw, create art with catapults, design simple 3d printing projects & use chemical science to color our world. We don’t think outside the box, we think what can we do with the box!
This workshop is designed for students in 5th grade through high school. Participants need to be able to follow instructions and work with others.

Author of popular math-art coloring books, Roger Burrows invites everyone to a travel through time and cultures, led by ancient geometrical ideas.

Joshua has been modifying obsolete electronics and using them as musical instruments for over 15 years. In this workshop, circuit bending as a philosophy will be discussed. We will also discuss how to turn vintage gaming systems (NES, Gameboy, Atari 2600, etc.) and vintage computers into musical instruments by using a combination of hardware and software.

The size and shape of our world has been known quite accurately for over 2000 years. The pattern of eclipses has been known even longer. This workshop will examine the very clever means by which ancient scientists were able to discover the objective dimensions of the Earth, Moon and Sun with little more than stone-age technology. The secret was in watching the moon and the eclipses it produced. Consider for a moment this interesting consequence: Any educated person in 1492 could have and did tell Columbus he was wrong about the size of the Earth. He thought it was about 15,000 miles in circumference. Everybody else knew it was about 25,000 miles around. Columbus just had to find somebody with money and not enough education to fund him in his erroneous pursuit!
