Students will have a completed drawing to share and many take-away skills to complement their own work. An image from nature will be provided for the online class.
Mission Control: Build A Martian Colony
During this two week mission, you will be our go-to team on Earth for discovering solutions for our astronauts building on the Martian terrain. Log in daily to the inter-planetary transmission from our three Martian Astronauts to help solve their build and robotic challenges. As part of the team, you will receive model building equipment and robotics equipment to test out at home and explore multiple ways problem-solve for our astronauts. Once you’ve found the solution to their challenge, report back, and tell them how to build it!
Learn Online: Bundle Dyeing Tote Bags Using Natural Materials (Ages 13+)
This class will teach you how to use our versatile and robust Black Cat Labs laser cutters. From cutting simple wood pieces for puzzles and toys to engraving artwork onto glass and other materials, laser cutters are a remarkably flexible and effective tool for fabrication. Taught by an experienced digital fabrication professional, this course not only covers required information on the proper use of the machine, but also more in-depth knowledge on how to use the machines in more advanced and effective ways.
Creative Tile Design With Soft Foam
