Science - “Can You Dig It?”: WWU science education specialists will lead this investigation of the world of archaeology. During the workshop, students will use archaeological techniques to excavate a site, uncover artifacts, identify objects, determine the age of artifacts and interpret the history of the site.
Arts - “Art in Motion: Kinetic Art”: Local art teacher LouAnn McKinley will lead this exploration of art concepts, 3-D design and perpetual motion. Students will create their own piece of art using wire, wood, fabric and metal, and then watch it come to life through perpetual motion.
The cost is $55 and includes instruction, materials, snacks, a movie, overnight supervision and a continental breakfast. There is a recreation option for an extended experience of rock-wall climbing, swimming and playing field games on Saturday morning for an additional $17.
