Your brain controls everything you do, receiving information from your senses to tell you what is happening around you. You will start this week exploring how the brain works and the parts of the brain that help it do its job. Make a polymer clay neuron and a “thinking cap” and map out your homunculus.

Finish the week exploring sensations and perceptions and illusions, creating your own infinity mirror.

Of course there will be lots of games and time outdoors. See you this March Break!

In 1854, Ana Atkins used a newly discovered technology called cyanotypes to record all the specimens of algae found in the British Isles.

In this workshop, you will capture your own cyanotype image on a piece of cotton paper or cloth. Kids are welcome to bring their own piece of clothing or cloth to make a cyanotype print. Each camper will be able to make a minimum of two cyanotype prints. Create a record of the world around you with cyanotypes.
