Held during most school holidays, our intergenerational programs are facilitated by a museum educator. Join us for design activities and gallery bingo on the Ground Floor, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

This is a beginner workshop, no prior experience in design required to participate. This program is suitable for adults and children ages 5 and up.

Mycelium (the roots of mushrooms) may very well be one of the most intelligent, adaptable, and resilient organisms on the planet! Not only is it nature’s recycler and communication network, but it’s also the largest organism on earth! Come explore these fascinating fungi with us as we learn about its many functions and characteristics. Find out how “nature’s glue” holds the key to making many industries more sustainable.

Get ready to get your hands dirty—literally!—as we walk you through the process of growing your own planter using mycelium. You’ll make a planter using mushroom materials and take it home to watch it grow. In a few days, you can start using the planter for indoor succulents.

This workshop is hosted by Danielle Trofe, a biodesigner who grew the world’s first commercial lighting collection.
