From a young age, I knew that I should learn a musical instrument. I always loved to sing and did so with pride. It wasn’t until my second oldest brother learned guitar, solely through Youtube videos I might add, that I realized I was way out of my depth in Read more…

Hello Everyone! This project couldn’t have come at a better time, well actually, better timing really would have been around April 2022 (you will learn why soon) – but I am not one to complain… so anyways, I am glad it is here now! Du…

My name is Laura Githegi and I am a 23 year old education student in my second year. My passion to teach came from my current Science Educator position at the Saskatchewan Science Centre where I have ongoing projects! Coming … Continue reading →

Welcome to my journey of learning how to make some pretty interesting things out of balloons. I first started wanting to learn how to make things out of balloons a couple weeks ago. Flashback to August 29, 2022, when we … Continue reading →

I have a little bit of previous knowledge on coding from my work at the Science Centre. In my position at the Science Centre I develop programming where some of that programming comes from a grant which encourages my team … Continue reading →

In the past 5 years, I’ve learned (very slowly) how to knit and crochet. I love being able to create something beautiful and have something physical to show off my skills. So for my learning project, I’ve decided to complete the trifecta of string creations and learn how to embroider! In the past, I’ve attempted embroidery and failed miserably. I lack the patience and attention to detail that is required, and what was an attempt at beautiful birds turned into…

Base Line: I Have No Idea What I am Doing For the last couple months, I have been wanting to start making wreaths for different occasions. I’ve always loved having a Christmas wreath but why can’t I make one for all the holidays? Well, I purchased a wreath form at Dollarama and then I was …

What if I told you that a mother will teach her three year old a dance routine? Actually…lets back track, what if I told you that a mother was going to ATTEMPT to teach her three year old how to dance? That would be much more of a possible outcome. I have always danced with my kids as a way to connect with them, get them connecting with musical art, as well as for mental health purposes. My three year old has a good sense of moving and also in synchronization with music. So with all these things in mind, I thought, what a great bonding experience for my son and I to learn a dance routine together through online resources. We can bond, we can learn, and we can grow together as a team. I asked my two year old if he wanted to join, but all he kept proclaiming boldly in return was “snaaaack” so I guess he can be a panel judge at the end with some fishy crackers in hand. He’s a tough critic, trust me…Simon Cowell doesn’t throw fishy snacks when he doesn’t like something. To start the dance journey I will be utilizing an online video to learn with my toddler once every week. We will see what the success rate is at the end of all of this and hopefully have some video footage of the process along the way to catch a glimpse. Cheers to another week and hopefully catch you in the next Learning Project post!
