Join educator and author Ryan Jenkins for a hands-on tinkering workshop to build fun creations and explore science, art and engineering. Together we\u2019ll get inspired to look at familiar supplies in new and unexpected ways, think with our hands, troubleshoot tricky constructions, and sharpen our problem-solving skills.
\nIn this workshop we\u2019ll explore making an illuminated cardboard city using gumdrop LEDs, copper tape, coin cell batteries and tons of everyday materials. Kids and adults will explore the playful intersection of electrical circuits and colorful light-up art. The glowing creations will be arranged to make a collaborative installation that combines all of our wild ideas and prototypes.
\nThrough this activity we\u2019ll get a sense of the possibilities for tinkering at home, in school and informal learning environments. The workshop will take place from 10:00-12:00 and participants will have the opportunity to take home their projects at the end of the session so that they can keep building and tinkering with the prototypes. The session is recommended for kids 7 years old and up with a parent or caregiver. <\/p>\n
