Do you have a creative flare or an interest in the science of nature photography? Then why not come and learn art and chemistry of cyanotype – one of history’s first photographic processes that is driven by our very own sun! Through games and activities, kids will have fun learning the science behind this process and will go home with a framed fabric cyanotype that they designed and created by themselves.
*In case of heavy clouds or rain, we will substitute another natural photosensitive process.
The Art and Science of Nature Exploration

(Ages 6-9) 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM

One of the first keys to nature exploration is tracking, tracing and noticing the stories and signs that nature is telling and leaving behind. During this exciting workshop, young explorers will embark on a hiking adventure to learn the basics of nature exploration in our local environment. While engaging in tracking games and activities, participants will also have the chance to begin their very own Explorer Sketchbook or Nature Journal where they record the amazing things they find in scientific and artistic ways. This workshop is meant to lead participants on an open-ended adventure beyond this workshop – one that can last a lifetime!
*this workshop fee includes a hard-backed nature journal and nature exploration art supply bag
Watershed Splash! Art and Science Workshop

This workshop gives students the chance to explore the incredible art and science of our local Schuylkill watershed. While hiking to the pond, streambed and banks of the Schuylkill River, we’ll learn to identify aquatic organisms, test the water chemistry and even search for clay deposits. Through exciting games, activities, science and a special clay art project inspired by the adventure, this one-of-a-kind experience teaches the art and science of protecting a watershed.
