Eli Whitney Museum

A workshop of gift making. Choose two of these projects to make: gifts for the holidays, the solstice, for any occasion you choose, or for yourself.

The Winter holidays are here. You might be taking part in yearly traditions such as gift-giving and tree decorating.

Construct from classic Erector Set parts a remote controlled motor on wheels. Then design and build a Robot, a Rabbit, a Racer…or anything you want to bring to life.

Just as we brace for the winter season, the Earth comes under attack! Aliens are coming to steal favorite winter holidays, and it’s up to you to fight back!

These are some books we admired on the 2013 Best Books for Young Readers lists. (Some were published in 2012.) Each book suggests something interesting to explore.

An introduction to Blender, a powerful free 3-D animation tool.

Each student will be given a character and a simple environment to experiment in. Learn to color, place and move – essentially animate –
the character in that environment.
