W7734: Spinning Arts Sampler in Splash! 2013 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2013)
Come learn the basics of poi, staff spinning, flow wand and possibly other exciting props as well! Drop in anytime, practice props provided.


S3214: Coral Reef Conservation and Ecology in Spark! 2010 (Mar. 13, 2010)
Do you like the ocean? Do you like fish and coral? How do you feel about coral reefs? If you answered in a vaguely positive manner to these questions, come learn about the ecology of coral reefs in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. I’ll show you stuff from the mechanics of reef formation to the fish populations of reefs to the biology of a coral polyp to where, exactly, sand comes from (the answer may surprise you!). We’ll also learn about the drastic environmental plight faced by all of Earth’s reefs, but I won’t be too preachy about that. NOTE: This is the same class as taught in Splash 2009
