Liveology Lab: Week One

On this, the first week of Liveology Lab the interns brought Spin Art to the public. Liveology Lab is an exhibit where each aspect is interactive. On weekdays we have bubbles, bottle rockets, melon harp, Keva block building, live animal presentations and liquid nitrogen experiments.
The interns host a special activity on weekends.
Spin Art was a hit with our visitors. We took pieces of Lego blocks and a Lego motor to create a spinning motion, that we could then add a table top to. Once we had the tables completed we set out paint and brushes and the creation of art commenced.
The kiddos loved it and the interns had fun as well. This is an easy activity that can be done to draw in large crowds. Our only problem was trying to shut down for the day. People kept pouring in. Finally we had to eliminate our spinner one at a time, until were down to one. I think this is an activity we will do again before Liveology is done.
