Bay Area Discovery Museum’s Post

I researched and wrote this piece commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the MCHD and, in the process, discovered my new favorite historical quote! Give it a read here: https://lnkd.in/gTCTrukj

Should be a great lecture

Here's something fun for next weekend at the Library! Circuit-bent kids toys, tape machines, retro synths through guitar pedals, along with other oddities such as solar panels, nabbed from broken garden lamps that become audio oscillators when mashed together with computer fans and bike lights - built upon the works of my buddy Adam Ben-Dror. Anyone working in education or with a passion for city planning is welcome to stop by for a chat about ways that STEAM projects and creative spaces, with collaboration and connectivity across Dunedin, could be provided to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds both easily and affordably by harnessing resources that are lost via waste streams. The e-waste world is full of musical items that provide a tangible and engaging link to the principles of physics, electronics and engineering. A motor from a tape machine demonstrates gear reduction, the copper wire pulled out of the motor and rewound can demonstrate electromagnetism, which taped to a piece of paper and connected to an amplifier shows how electromagnetism transforms electricity into sound waves.. and so on. The hugely popular MakeRoom Wellington, where I used to work, have been lightyears ahead on all of this 👏 👏 👏 Although they give 110% every day, as well as a large portion of their family home to make it work and have almost no holidays, I've witnessed how incredibly challenging it has been to upscale and achieve wider acknowledgement and recognition under their own steam. It's a difficult one to unpack why it's like this, or how such a brilliant example can continue to fly under the radar of those in a position to support and enact greater change. In saying all of that, thanks to the Dunedin City Council Waste Minimalisation funding team for their support with this project and I'm really looking forward to updates on the upcoming waste plan!

In a recent edition of Exchange Every Day dedicated to embracing families, communities, and culture, Monica Wells, our family and community program administrator, shared her deep connection to families and communities and how it positively impacts children's success. "Strong, authentic relationships between our families, students, and educators are key. We must speak life into our students, cheer them on, teach them the skills, and provide the tools they need to be prepared for the future. We must show examples of the power, importance, and necessity of community." Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gc7ur8uu

Honoring Leo Vinton Butts Leo Vinton Butts was the first African-American graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy and the first African-American to play for the UW varsity football team. A World War I veteran and activist, Butts later owned and operated a pharmacy and, in his UW Ph.D. thesis, was one of the first to document the history of African-Americans in pharmacy.
