Engine Rebuilding Workshop -- Gasoline Fundamentals
Disassemble and reassemble a small gasoline engine. Pistons, valves, crankshaft, carburetor, ignition. You will understand the four-stroke cycle by touching every part. I built my first engine on the kitchen table. Clara held the fuel line.
Process Optimization Consulting -- Eliminate Waste
One-on-one. Bring me your workflow -- manufacturing, service, office, anything. I will find the waste. Every process has value-adding steps and non-value-adding steps. Eliminate the latter. At Highland Park, chassis assembly went from 12 hours 28 minutes to 1 hour 33 minutes.
Model T Wheel & Brake Drum (Display)
Original-spec Model T wooden-spoke wheel with brake drum. Hickory and elm, 30 inches diameter. 15 million Model Ts built. This wheel design barely changed in 19 years. When something works, do not fix it.
Materials Science Workshop -- Polymers & Fibers
Hands-on session. Test the strength of different fibers: nylon, polyester, aramid (Kevlar), carbon fiber, silk. Measure tensile strength, stretch, and failure modes. Understand why Kevlar stops a bullet but scissors cut it. Material properties are not obvious -- you must test them.
Kevlar Sample Kit (Educational, 5 Weave Types)
Five Kevlar fabric samples in different weave patterns: plain, twill, satin, unidirectional, and hybrid. Cut them, stretch them, test them. Feel the difference between weaves and understand why ballistic vests use specific patterns. Includes magnifier and test instructions.
Chemistry Career Mentoring -- The Accidental Discovery Path
One-on-one. I took a temporary job and stayed 40 years. My biggest discovery came from a failed experiment. I will help you navigate a science career: when to persist, when to pivot, how to recognize the unexpected as opportunity, and how to get your work recognized in a field that often overlooks women.
Tensile Testing Workshop -- How Strong Is It Really
Small group (max 4). We will test materials to destruction: pulling, bending, cutting. Measure force, elongation, and breaking point. Compare metals, plastics, composites, and natural fibers. The numbers always surprise people. Intuition about material strength is usually wrong. Measure.
X-Ray Crystallography Demonstration
How we see molecules. I will explain diffraction patterns, Bragg law, and how a flat photograph reveals three-dimensional structure. We will analyze diffraction patterns from simple crystals. Photo 51 was not lucky -- it was 100 hours of exposure with perfect fiber alignment. Technique matters more than equipment.
Field Ecology Walk -- Reading the Landscape
A guided walk through any natural area. I will teach you to read the ecosystem: what eats what, who pollinates whom, where the water flows, why certain plants grow in certain spots. Every landscape tells a story of interconnection. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
Field Naturalist Kit (Notebook, Loupe, Guides)
Waterproof field notebook, 10x hand loupe, regional plant and bird identification guides, collecting vials, and a lightweight shoulder bag. Everything you need for a day of serious nature observation. My mother gave me a similar kit when I was eight.
Legacy Planning Workshop -- Write Your Own Obituary First
I read my own obituary and it horrified me. Merchant of Death. So I rewrote my legacy. This workshop: write the obituary you want published, then work backwards. What do you need to do between now and then? I will help you design a legacy that outlasts you. The Nobel Prizes are mine.
Patent Strategy Consulting -- 355 Patents Method
One-on-one session. I held 355 patents in multiple countries. I will teach you patent strategy: what to patent, where to file, how to create a patent portfolio that protects your business, and how to license effectively. A single patent is a shield. A portfolio is a fortress.
