Action Comet Workshop Summary
Action Comet 67/CG is a workshop during which the participants learn about the European Space Agency's Rosetta Mission to a comet called 67/P CG. During the workshop everyone learns about this comet by both drawing it and also making a comet model for themselves.
The Rosetta spacecraft is in orbit around the comet. On November 12th 2014 it will send a lander called Philae to the comet. This will be the first time ever that a probe from Earth will land on a comet. This is an historic mission, complimented by this unique workshop suitable for all ages.
Duration 1 hour all materials provided.

Deadly Moons - Interactive Talk / Workshop
Deadly Moons is a one hour interactive art/science workshop. I show the children 10 unusual moons from our solar system. I tell them some facts about these worlds and use language they would understand, not too many facts, more light in nature. Then the children vote on which is the deadliest moon, then they draw that moon. In doing this they learn that there are other moons, they learn that these moons are different. I try to offer black paper and pastels to give them a different visual experience. This activity helps to strengthen their observing skills which is both a science and art practice.
Deadly Moons teaches a little bit about our moon , and the other exotic moons in our solar system. We learn about moon phases, busy moons , quite moons , Galilean moons, moon exploration and moon terminology . We have fun with moons and create our choices on black paper with soft pastels in vivid colors. Ideally suits 40 children or less per session
Rapid Rockets and Wicked Robots Talk /Workshop
Rapid Rockets and Wicked Robots is a drawing workshop that teaches children about the rockets and robots used in exploring oursolar system.
