WARREN, Pa. – The third annual Remake Learning Days will be held in Northwestern Pennsylvania May 4-23, with several events going on in Warren County.
The first event, Robots, Bees, and Mice Oh My!, takes place on May 5 from 6-7 p.m. at the Jefferson DeFrees Family Center. This event is free and geared to children ages 4-10 years old.
Kids will learn and play with basic coding skills in a computer-free, kid-friendly atmosphere. They will learn to code using robotic mice and bees, video-game-type apps, and board games. This introduction to coding reinforces STEM skills of counting, cause-and-effect, and positional directions.
Hikers Host Boy Scouts is an event to further educate Boy Scouts in nature’s ways that will be hosted by the Allegheny Outdoor Club at the Allegheny National Forest Recreation Area at Hearts Content on Saturday, May 6 beginning at 10 a.m. Scouts will learn about bird banding, GPS use, and tree identification.
The AOC will host a group of 15-30 Boy Scouts ages 14-18 on a six-hour hour event, in an old-growth forest, which includes aged towering white pines and hemlocks, is comprised of 120 acres of never-logged trees and is traversed by an oft-used interpretive trail. Qualified individuals will school and interact with the scouts throughout the event.
The hike is free to all and the activities will be held rain or shine; with one exception, the presence of lightning and high winds could be grounds for cancellation.
At the Crary Art Gallery, all ages are invited to take part in Plaster, Sculpt, and Scan: A Family Art Adventure, a family-friendly project, a QR code scavenger hunt, with refreshments. The event is on May 9 from 5-8 p.m.
Barb Kersey, a Crary Art Gallery board member, will lead participants in a plaster cast clay molding and sculpting project, while Regina Russell and Kristine Peterson will lead the Scavenger Hunt.
