The Sheldon SOLID Project
SOLID (Science of Learning Instrument Design) is a free program that challenges students to design and create a unique musical instrument from recycled materials
Classrooms learn about the connected worlds of sound, science, and art through fun and interactive live demonstrations given by The Sheldon Teaching Artist in partnership with the Saint Louis Science Center.
SOLID teaches students to be problem solvers, think creatively, and follow a design process.
The Sheldon is proud to partner with the Saint Louis Science Center to present this program.
Registration opens in August.
The program includes:
An age-appropriate and engaging live demonstration of the "Science of Sound" given by a Sheldon Teaching Artist.
An age-appropriate and engaging live presentation with a Sheldon teaching artist on instrument design, world music, and the engineering cycle.
Curriculum and student handouts to guide classrooms through the process.
