A standard 20-inch box fan and strong tape. That's what you're required to bring to this workshop. We provide MERV-13 filters and the support needed for you to build your own Corsi-Rosenthal air purifier box!
A WHAT?!?? An efficient, affordable, and EPA approved way to clean the indoor air you breathe! The Corsi-Rosenthal Box (CR Box) was designed as a way to increase access to air purifiers and improve health. Kiddie Science was a recent recipient of MERV-13 filters from the Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation! These are excellent filters for trapping pet dander, dust, germs, and more. The CR Box itself is portable, quiet, and efficient. We'll help you build it at the Lab and you can carry it away for immediate use! We'll also provide replacement filters so you can use your CR Box without interruption. **The $10 fee helps us raise funds to purchase box fans for community donations of CR Boxes** The Kiddie Science Lab is located at 509 Rogers Avenue, door on the right. Advanced registration is required. Questions? Contact us at [email protected] Please complete a separate registration for each person building a CR Box. And don't forget to bring your box fan and tape! Various workshop dates and times available. REGISTER ONLINE HERE
Thanks to the generosity of the Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation, we can officially say that we know what a truck delivery of 240 filters looks like!
Are you familiar with Corsi-Rosenthal filter boxes? They're efficient, affordable, and got the thumbs up from the EPA at their ability to clean the air. We use one at the Lab. The folks who invented it, Dr Richard Corsi and Jim Rosenthal, established a foundation. A weeks ago, we made a grant request to their organization. This is what it looks like to have 240 MERV-13 filters delivered! Stay tuned for Family Science and Community Science programming related to this generous donation! In the meantime, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Our goal is to increase access to clean indoor air. With your support, we can provide the elders in our community with their own filter box at no cost. The support we need is primarily comprised of box fans and tape. It's a small ask with big impact! Visit our Amazon Wish List or contact us at [email protected] to make an in-kind donation of 20-inch box fans. Thank you!! This summer, Big & Little Scientists embarked on a tactile exploratory topic that incorporated scientific vocabulary and a mess. Welcome to the Science of Mess!! We've explored textures, practiced pouring, used our squeezing fingers, and much more! Examples of vocabulary includes sticky, fluffy, and thick.
We've learned and explored oh so much and made a fun mess while doing so! WHY MESS?? Messy play is oh so much more than just fun (and mess) — it's a crucial part of early childhood development! When our youngest learners engage in messy activities like finger painting, mud exploration, or water play, they're doing more than making a mess. They're exploring their senses, building fine motor skills, and learning about cause and effect. This hands-on, inquiry-based approach helps young learners develop creativity and problem-solving skills, while also giving them the freedom to explore with a few constraints (we don't eat our projects!). Embrace the mess! It's laying the foundation for future learning! |
