DECAY DETECTIVES
Get ready to explore the awesome world of composting! You’ll learn how yard waste can magically turn into rich, healthy soil. We’ll discover what belongs in a compost pile and how it breaks down. By the end, you’ll know how composting helps the Earth—and how you can help too!
MAGNETIC MINDS
Get ready to explore the awesome power of electricity and magnetism! In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to turn simple materials – like wire, batteries, and nails – into a real working electromagnet. Discover how electromagnets are used to generate electricity to power everyday things like speakers, motors, and even roller coasters!
SCIENCE WITH A SIDE OF ART
Do you enjoy science and math? How about art, poetry, and stories? What if you could combine all of those things as you explore nature and the world outside your door? In this session, you'll get hands-on experience with nature journaling, a foundational practice that helps scientists observe closely, get curious, and communicate their findings. Using a combination of writing, drawing, and math, nature journaling also helps connect scientific skills with creative expression like sketching, poetry, and storytelling. Join us to be inspired by nature!
RAFTASTIC !
​
Rafting on the Rogue River! Design a raft that is safe and fun. Learn what goes into designing a watercraft that can take on strong currents, big waves and maneuver around rocks. Then build a small model of the raft you design and race it down a simulated river.
DANCE OF FLOWERS!
Do flower petals have patterns that serve as guides for bees? Do they know where to collect pollen? As bees move among flowers, they transfer the pollen which allows plants to produce seeds and flourish. Using microscopes and UV lights, you will dissect a flower and learn the parts that bees need to find to collect their pollen.
DRONES WILL SAVE THE WORLD!
Did you know that software coders can help keep our planet healthy? In this fun, hands-on session, you’ll learn software engineering basics and work as a team to program drones that take on real-world missions........all while discovering how good technology choices can help take care of the earth. Participants should wear soft soled shoes such as tennis shoes because the workshop will be held in the gym.
