Hi All,
As a newish member to Makerspace I realize the importance to give back. I want to peak interest into a few subjects I could teach mostly in the science area.
Also if you are interested i can teach the intro to beekeeping and indoor gardening class again with practical side aka bring a light in soil etc…
Here are some ideas I have and am willing to teach just need to know if the interest is there…Also don’t know if these are already in the works as this was a really long thread!
-
Hydroponic gardening (with practicum)
-
Horticulture making feminized seeds and plant propagation/cloning. This will include instructions and a lab to do both
-
Seed swap/plant swap - its getting close to spring and i always buy more than i need lets mix it up with fellow gardeners
-
Grow and refine your own penicillin. This will be a class to the understanding growing and refining of penicillin we may do a lab here?
-
Herbalism - making tinctures and refining certain plants - review of herbal remedies and swap of seedlings we could do some extracts or something
Esential oils 101 - how to extract and make your own essential oils. I have a lemongrass bush that is 4’X4’ and needs a haircut we could use for the class.
-
Make your own bathbombs - class with instructions on how to make bathbombs with wet lab to make a few
-
Yeast 101 - how you can make your own yeast library for homebrewing and never buy it again! (yeast strain swap as part of the class)
-
Beekeeping 102 (working a hive and going offsite to a bee yard) this will be a practicum after beekeeping 101 since you will need equipment ( I have some)
-
