Capstone Project Proposal - Juliana

For my capstone project, I hope to design a month of activities in the Innovation Workshop centered around a nature theme. For one of the main activities, I am thinking of having an open-ended “Nature Art” activity, in which visitors can create art out of natural materials, similar to the Fairy House activity. In order to make the activity still relevant to MOXI, I also want to have some examples of engineering in nature as activities on the side stations. Each station will be a different animal that “engineers” in a natural environment. Some ideas that I have for this include beavers, bees, ants, spiders, and birds. These activities may have less of a take home product, but be more about learning about a certain animal and how it designs, builds, and alters the environment.
