I was honored to be invited to participate in an online exhibition with other mosaic artists that use recycled, found, or natural materials in their work. It was created in celebration of Earth Day.
The webinar is only for members although it's free to join Contemporary Mosaic Arts 2 which is an online forum for artists working in mosaics worldwide. They have wonderful webinars!
Here are a few of the other artists that participated in this webinar:

I was excited to participate in a panel affter the showing of "Revolutions" a short documentary about the bicyle waste stream being created by the volume of cheap bicycles being manufactured. https://kitterylandtrust.weebly.com/seacoastenvironmentalfilmfestival.html This annual event is a celebration of the many folks working hard to preserve our environment thorugh documentaries and local vendors offering information and advice.
Bicycle waste is the equivalent of the "Fast Fashion" waste crisis and I was happy to be able to show this film to the Teen Science Cafe Leader Team at APEX. You can watch it here:

I'm so excited to be the Adult Leader for the only Teen Science Cafe in Maine during 2024/25 in collaboration with APEX Youth Connections here in Biddeford.
Due to the busy Fall season, we decided to spend this time visiting STEM related workplaces immediate area. First up was STEAMfruit https://www.steamfruit.com/index.html#/ located in the Biddeford Mills. It is a one man operation by owner Michael Vickery who welcomed us and gave us a wonderful tour of his operation Michael makes a wide range of prototypes for both Industrial Designers and individual entrepreneurs. The Teens were fascinated to hear about his work and see the fleet of printers in action!
Next up for the TEEN SCIENCE CAFE TEAM is a trip to the University of New England Neuroscience Lab.! Stay Tuned!
