[Report] After-School Creative Project

From a CANVAS Facebook post

*******************************************

On Saturday, September 17,
we held the “Mysterious Mirror Machine” activity at the after-school center.

Using the principles behind mirrors,
I created a
mysterious device that lets you see what's behind you when you look into it!

Finally, add some decorations, and
your very own mirror machine is complete!!
The photos show some of the creations made by the children.

*The After-School Creative Project runs workshops at
after-school centers designed to nurture children’s
creativity and imagination, with the goal of enriching the after-school experiences of as
many children as possible.
