CONCEPT: Walk your creativity outside and into the
garden! In this one-of-a-kind workshop, we use clay to
create adornments for an outside oasis. We think about
how a garden is art and how art is part of the garden.
We look at garden culture from aro und the world as
we consider how to accent our own green spaces —
perhaps a red mobile draws attention to your red tulips.
We learn handbuilding and glazing techniques as we
create colorful tiny houses for creatures to visit, retro
garden gnomes to bring good luck, delicate sounding
wind chimes, and more!

Field Guide Series featuring the following volumes: Rocky
Mountain Mammals, Rocky Mountain Plants, Rocky
Mountain Birds and Rocky Mountain Bugs. CONCEPT: Unlock the secrets of video game design
and create your own games and animations in this
tech-centric workshop! We use analog and digital tools
to explore the basics of game design, from character
and level creation to simple movements and enemy
mechanics. Using Scratch — a block-based programming
language, which allows even the most beginner coders to
start wrapping their minds around the concepts and tools
available — we create mazes, quiz games, platforms,
fighting games and more. This workshop combines
technical skill and creative challenges, while encouraging
students to make games they find fun. The engagement
continues with a personal login that allows you to keep
working on and playing your games at home.

Explore the world of robotics and build
your own robot in an immersive workshop that is ideal
for budding builders and engineers. Discover the world
of autonomous robots, programming and mechanical
engineering. Design and build art robots using the
LEGO Education EV-3 Mindstorms platform and the
Hummingbird Robotics Kit, a new product from Carnegie
Mellon’s CREATE Lab. We integrate arts and crafts with
engineering education. Learn the basics of programming
and how to build simple, structurally sound robots
while at the same time expressing your artistic side by
personalizing the robots with felt, feathers, glitter and
more! We even add attachments with markers and
brushes to create designs, signs and other robot art.
FACULTY: Caroline Hanson has been an educator
