Homeschool Explorations Eco-Engineering (recommended for ages 6-8)
April 23 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am
Celebrate Earth Day with an educational and hands-on experience! In this special workshop, students will delve into the world of sustainable building practices, exploring the innovative techniques employed by Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West. Gain insights into the principles of passive solar design, discovering how architecture can harmonize with the environment to create spaces that are both functional and eco-friendly.
The workshop will then transition to the realm of renewable energy, specifically focusing on solar power. Students will unravel the wonders of solar technology and its role in powering sustainable structures. As a creative and interactive component, participants will have the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge by crafting mini solar projects. This hands-on activity not only reinforces the concepts learned but also allows students to witness the transformative power of solar energy in action.
By combining theoretical learning with a practical and engaging craft, this Earth Day workshop aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for sustainable living and environmentally conscious design. Join us in exploring the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright, understanding the principles that shaped Taliesin West, and celebrating Earth Day through the lens of architecture and renewable energy. It’s a journey of discovery, creativity, and a commitment to a greener, more sustainable future.
