Thank you to Camille Cogswell for the photos! 

July 29- the BALL OF LIFE made a stop at Asheville Museum of Science summer camp! Together, we contemplated pea geometry (peaometry), learned about threshing and winnowing okra pods, colored custom worksheets with illustrations by Experimental Art Club, and bedazzled some beautiful bean clowns- some of whom have joined the circus!  Thank you to AMOS for inviting us to visit, we loved collaborating with your curious + creative campers! 

Behind the scenes: Show + Tell with Leeza + Rudy! We learned all about the importance of proper winnowing and got to try out some cool inventions that Appalachian Growers Seed Collective built to process their harvests!
