Make It! Schedule
​February 27: Warp and Weft Explore weaving, a textile art that involves interlacing two sets of threads to create fabric. The threads are called the warp and weft, and are woven together on a loom or other device.
​
​March 6: Build a Scribble Art Robot Use readily available hobby electrical parts and everyday materials to create an “art bot” that draws by itself! First, you’ll create a simple robot made of spinning and wiggling motors, markers, tape, and a variety of recycled and repurposed materials. Then set your machine in motion and watch it leave a trail of unexpected patterns!
​
March 13: Fun with Bernoulli A few simple, fun and memorable science experiments demonstrate how heavier than air objects can move and even fly. In 1738, mathematician and scientist Daniel Bernoulli discovered how air speed on objects and the resulting change in air pressures affects movement.
​
March 20: Make a Waterscope A water microscope is a simple and inexpensive way to explore the world of tiny things. It’s a great way to introduce kids to the basics of microscopes. A drop or bead of water acts similarly to the lens of an eye and helps you see an object larger than it actually is. Experiment with different sized drops to find the best balance between image size and clarity.
​
March 27: Look Into Infinity Images of images of images can repeat forever. If you've ever been between two mirrors that face each other (such as in a barbershop, beauty salon, dressing room, or fun house) you're familiar with the seemingly endless line of images fading into the distance. It's incredibly simple and truly fascinating! Experience this effect with us and find out how this illusion works.
