"People Are Knitting, Crocheting, and Weaving Tangible Records of Temperature Changes. In an effort to make the ongoing effects of climate change more visible, needleworkers around the globe are creating temperature blankets and scarves that track local weather patterns. Earlier this month, writer Josie George began an expansive Twitter thread about the project, motivating others to share their similar work. I decided that this year, every day, I would knit a row on a scarf ...to mark the corresponding daily temperature/weather of my town, George wrote in the original post. It felt like a good way to engage with the changing climate and with the changing year. A way to notice and not look away. Although the technique and materials vary, each project follows a basic pattern utilizing a key (like this free one) to track some combination of the temperature, sky conditions, season, and date. The personal projects are part of a larger movement to document micro weather changes that may serve as indicators of broader climate issues. Groups like The Tempestry Project have been crafting wallhangings tracking the daily high temperature of a specific location during the course of year, weaving the results into a yarn-based work resembling a bar graph. Check out this Instagram tag to see more of the activism-inspired projects." See more about this project by following the link below! . @umanitoba @umanitobasci .

We wanted to give a giant shoutout to the Science Rendezvous team who is still volunteering their time to help plan the next event even though this year's was cancelled. We appreciate and admire your tremendous work! You all are fantastic. . @umanitoba @umanitobasci @sci_rendezvous . .... . #steamumanitoba #umanitobasci #umanitoba #umanitobaart #winnipegarts #uofm #uofmanitoba #umstudent #universityofmanitoba #manitoba #myumsu #winnipeg #ywg #scienceisfun #instascience #sciencerocks #scienceexperiment #STEAM #makerspace #curiousminds #factsoflife #sciencefacts #lovescience #curiosity #creativelearning #lovetolearn #innovate See more

"Get a Meteorite-Speckled Slab of the Moon’s Surface Made with NASA Data: Most of us will never get to touch the moon’s outer crust, but a new project by DeskSpace lets people pretend they’ve got a little portion of the crater-covered satellite sitting on their desks or hung up on their walls. Designed using data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Lunar Surface is a square piece of portland concrete that’s natural bubbles form ridges and dips that mimic the divets ...caused by meteorites. The astronomical project commemorates humans’ first steps on the moon. It was 50 years ago that the first Apollo landing took place. With such an important anniversary, we understand that space enthusiasts need special items for their collections, DeskSpace said. There are just a few options left for purchase on Kickstarter, but you can stay up to date with future space-themed releases on DeskSpace’s site."

Science Rendezvous is more than a community of ideas, it is a community of people. It is light hearted, and that gives us the courage and opportunity to take risks. Science Rendezvous was cancelled but the community got together and made the flash mob happen over Zoom. Click the link in our bio to watch! Thank you to S-Records, and Andy Grammer for allowing us to use your song, Keep Your Heads Up. . @umanitoba @umanitobasci @sci_rendezvous... . . . . #steamumanitoba #umanitobasci #umanitoba #umanitobaart #winnipegarts #uofm #uofmanitoba #umstudent #universityofmanitoba #manitoba #myumsu #winnipeg #ywg #scienceisfun #instascience #sciencerocks #scienceexperiment #STEAM #makerspace #curiousminds #factsoflife #sciencefacts #lovescience #curiosity #creativelearning #lovetolearn #innovate See more
