Your FUTURE self will thank you for setting up healthy habits NOW!

Abstraction Through Experimentation
In this workshop session participants will learn about abstraction through experimentation of 2-D media and materials to apply in developing a design. Works by Paule Vezelay and Hilma af Klint will be briefly highlighted prior to hands-on art-making.

Assistive Technology
The sessions for the day will include a quick history on assistive technology for the disabled community. This will lead into what technology is available today and what is to come. A robotic feeding arm (OBI), Eye Gaze, Head Arrays, Power Wheelchairs, and more!

Design Your Own Animal Experiment
All living things exhibit behavior in response to the conditions around them: they grow or move towards the things they want or need, and away from things that can harm them. Experiments allow us to test predictions about animal behavior. In this session, you will learn details about an animal’s biology that will let you develop your own predictions about how the animal will behave in response to a condition you select. You will then design your own choice experiment to test your prediction, collect data, and present your results to other students.

Disease Detectives
Solve the mystery outbreak and learn about public health. We'll talk about keeping our community healthy, while having fun in the process!

History Beneath Your Feet
Discover how archaeologists piece together what life was like in the Coulee Region in the distant past. Join us as we “dig in” to examine artifacts recovered from local excavations to determine how pre-European people used the area’s natural resources for thousands of years before cars, grocery stores, or computers were invented!

Managing the Land Around Us
How did the Mississippi River form the valley we live in and how do we protect our cities from flooding? Join us as we dig in and manipulate sand and water moving through stream models to explore how rivers transform the land! Develop creative solutions for managing this critical natural resource.

The Science of Fire
“Understanding fire to fight fire"; join the La Crosse Fire Department as we take a deeper look at how fire works and how fire fighters use that information to do their job better. We'll be exploring the fire triangle with hands-on activities and a live demonstration of a kitchen grease fire. Come ready to participate, learn, and ask questions!

It's All Fun & Games
As a Recreation Professional (yes…it’s a thing!), play is not only fun, but an important tool in developing our sense of self and building social, emotional, and collaborative skills. In this session, you’ll get a taste of what kinds of games and activities are best for encouraging particular outcomes. You’ll also learn how recreation connects to well-being and why, though we spend a predominant portion of our lives working, the reason we do so is very much guided by our recreation goals and preferences. And, the best part is, you’ll learn this all by doing the activities…not just talking about them!
