Watt's Up with Solar Energy?

Join Climable for an exhilarating, hands-on exploration of one of the most abundant energy sources on earth. We’ll be building houses and buildings from recycled paper products, complete with functional mini solar panels and LED light bulbs, to create a sun-powered neighborhood of our own.

Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how electricity and solar panels work, how different materials impact a building’s energy efficiency, and why working together is the best way to strengthen our communities.

Our workshop is open to youth ages 6 to 12 years. Spots are limited, and day-of registration is required. Fill out the interest form to indicate your child’s intent to attend.

This event is part of the Foundry's fourth annual Festival, happening Saturday, February 14-21! Celebrate this year’s theme, “Pathways,” through FREE activities for all ages, interests, and skill levels, including art, workshops, and performances that explore the winding paths that unite us. Engage the family during February break, learn a new skill, and build community!
