Virtual Project LessonsMark your calendar for Monday, February 15, Wednesday, February 24, and Tuesday, March 2! Each date will feature a lesson on a different project area. These opportunities are being led by Fond du Lac, Ozaukee, and Washington County Educators, but will be available to youth state-wide. These are similar to how sessions were offered this summer and during Fall Forum! Click here to register for any or all of the sessions! **These are different from Family Learning Day Take and Learn Kits!
Project Descriptions:
STEM - You will develop, design, and test a parachute that meets the design challenge of carrying one metal washer to the ground. Are you up to the challenge? Enjoy a taste of STEM while designing, building, and testing out your parachute design. Adults joining us will see how to replicate a virtual project meeting. We cannot wait to see your parachute creations!
WELLNESS - You will make a glitter calming jar, and learn how it can be used to help you calm down and process your emotions.
ART- Monoprinting techniques can include combining artistic methods and multimedia such as painting and drawing with lithography, etching, or woodcut. Monoprints are unique, spontaneous, and expressive, allowing more scope for abstract compositions and more detailed prints than other types of printing.
FEB 15 - Design a Parachute Challenge
FEB 24 - Create a Glitter Calming Jar
MARCH 2 - Explore Monoprinting Techniques
