Since 2004, reDiscover has provided professional development for schools and educators looking to incorporate environmentally aware making into their classes. During the pandemic, we are supporting teachers to innovate and engage students with multiple pathways through online training, consultation, and coaching. Including hands-on activities with your lessons increases engagement, learning, and attendance. Allow us to share some of our experience with you. Our workshops cover topics such as:

• Safe Tool Use - How to guide students in the safe use of our Tinkering Tool Kit
• Creative Reuse and Ecological Awareness - How to be sustainable both environmentally and financially, and how to develop resourcefulness by using easily found recycled materials from around the home and bringing awareness to the lifecycle of products and packaging.
• Art-STEM Integration - Use highly engaging visual art techniques to deepen STEM lessons.
• Curriculum Development - How to use hands-on projects to reinforce Standards and drive your lessons.
• Distance Learning - How to teach students to use their hands and minds, set up their spaces, and make a more conducive place for making and learning.

Once a week for 30-120 minutes, small groups of up to 6 students are guided by one of our fabulous Facilitators in student-driven projects created from household recycled materials and treasures from reDiscover's Creative Reuse Warehouse. This is no sit-and-watch class, students will spend most of their time actively creating!

Themes for these series, which range from 4 weeks to a full semester, can include houses, costumes, cities, inventions, general open projects, and custom sequences related to their current curriculum. Classes can incorporate our Tinkering Tool Kit for students 9 and up, or 5 and up with adult supervision. We can also do classes for younger students utilizing more simple tools and materials from home, such as scissors, paperboard, and tape.

Prices vary. Submit a Booking Request for more information or to schedule a class series.
