Saturdays starting November 5, 10 am to 2 pm,
Recycled Geodesic Dome
Monday, November 7, 3 to 5 pm
Patented by engineer and writer R. Buckminster Fuller, the geodesic dome is super efficient, fast to build and amazingly strong. When constructed, the geodesic dome uses the least possible material to create the largest possible structure, and because of the way weight is distributed, it can demonstrate amazing strength. Use nothing more than recycled newspaper we’ll build a geodesic dome large enough to sit under! Geometry has never been this all-out cool. Hosted by Sandra Roberts. $5/person plus your own stack of newspaper (the more the better!). Ages 5-13.

Change the World
Wednesday, November 9, 1 to 4 pm
What do you want to change about the world? Civics is the study of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Everyone -- adult and child alike -- can and should be capable of making their voices heard by representatives at every level of government. In this civics class, the emphasis isn't on memorizing how our government works but, instead, on learning and practicing the skills needed to fully participate in our democracy. By the end of this workshop, every student will come away with a sense that they have the power to change the world around them. Hosted by Elizabeth McCarthy. Best for ages 7-12. $25/person.

Rube Goldberg
Machines
Wednesday, November 16, 1:30 to 3:30 pm
American cartoonist, Rube Goldberg, is best known for his detailed
drawings of crazy contraptions that were able to complicate simple tasks. The
idea has grown into a fun physics and engineering activity, with worldwide
appeal and an annual college-level contest in its honor. We’ll use common
household materials to create our own machines, learning about forces and
simple machines as we go! Hosted by Sandra Roberts. $15/person. Bring some items
to include in the machine! Ages 5-13.
