AMP puts the “a” in STEAM! In this brand-new program, kids will learn about the life cycle of turtles and what makes them so special. Participants will learn from the workers who have devoted their lives to protecting them from the impact of climate change and human activity. Marine conservationists from the VerdiAzul turtle hatchery in Costa Rica will join us virtually to tell us about the work they have done to increase the number of turtles released to 95%. Participants will follow the incubation and hatching of turtle eggs in real-time! Through art, we’ll discover how we can envision and activate a world where we live alongside our friends in the sea!
In this dynamic program, kids will:
-
Discover their creativity through art-making using nature and sea creatures as inspiration.
-
Design and build eco-friendly 3D sculptures with natural and upcycled materials.
-
Explore different mediums—painting, sculpting, drawing, and more—while fostering self-expression and imagination.
No experience is necessary. This is a small group program led by Teaching Artist Calla Begley. Space is limited.
