Celebrate Earth Week at the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine with featured Artist in Residence Conary N. Howard-Rogers! Together, we will craft mini ecosystems in the MakerSpace and witness our ability to shape the environment firsthand.
Howard-Rogers will guide us in creating contained ecosystems using recycled jars, native plants, soil, and water. Families and children will engage in hands-on environmental education while exploring their artistic processes. Microcosms can be taken home to observe their growth over time or added to a collaborative installation in MakerSpace.
In addition to creating these miniature worlds, Howard-Rogers will address environmental challenges specific to Maine, including those related to climate change. Throughout the experience, short activities will delve into topics such as the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, native species, and broader themes of sustainability and environmental awareness. Don’t miss this creative environmental learning experience!
Included with Admission.
Location: MakerSpace, 2nd Floor
