Save the Sea Turtles

Let’s problem solve together. Newly hatched sea turtles use moonlight to find their way to the sea, but tall, bright lights confuse them. Using code and LED lights, you will build a prototype of a beach pathway. This system will ensure safe navigation for people without disrupting the natural behavior of sea turtles.

Help the Bees

Bees are critical to maintaining our food supply, and scientists have created 3D-printed honeycomb and flowers to assist bees with pollination. Learn about 3D design and how this technology is being used to assist bee populations. You will get a chance to create a simple 3D honeycomb design that will be printed for free.

Patch Your Clothes

Don’t throw away your torn clothes! Reduce landfill waste by repairing your damaged clothing, tote bags or furniture cushions with the Silhouette Cameo, an electronic cutting tool. Learn to cut iron-on patches in a variety of shapes and sizes, empowering you to extend the life of your belongings rather than discarding them.
