TEEN SCIENCE CAFE @ APEX - Coming Soon!

I'm excited to be facilitating the only Teen Science Cafe in Maine this school year! My collaboration will be with APEX Youth Connection in Biddeford. APEX is descended from the former Community Bicycle Center where I hatched Bike Part Art originally decades ago. 

As a studio metalsmith, I have a strong cross-disciplinary relationship with STEM in terms of Chemistry, Engineering, Material Science, Physics, and Math! These days the field of Jewelry and Metalsmithing also incorporates new technology like laser welding, CAD Desisign and 3D printing. For this Cafe series, though, the students will pick the topics! We live in an area rich with possibilities that they can choose from to design three presentations for their peers between January and June of 2025. 
Stay tuned to see where their curiosity takes them in exploring the STEM landscape of Biddeford/Saco!
