WAITLIST ONLY - Spring Forward! Interactive Sundial Think Tank

  • Blue Bird Gap Farm 60 Pine Chapel Rd Hampton, VA 23669 United States (map)

Calling all young scientists, mathmeticians and engineers! We need your problem-solving skills to help us create an interactive sundial at Bluebird Gap Farm.

Location: Blue Bird Gap Farm (60 Pine Chapel Rd, Hampton, VA 23669)

Details: This first project date is a "meeting of the minds" that will involve a tour of the farm, a survey of the site where the sundial will be installed, and a brainstorming session for youth to determine how and what materials we'll use to create this interactive time-telling station. Once we receive approval from the farm director, we'll set dates for completing the project. For reference and inspiration, check out these two sundials: https://www.houstonenergycorridorhomes.com/sundial-clock-terry-hershey-park/ and https://www.jmu.edu/arts/public-art/sun-dial.shtml

Youth needed: 8

Special Considerations: Wear comfortable shoes and layers in case it's chilly. This is a rain-or-shine project!
