Microscope Slide Preparation Workshop
Learn professional slide prep: fixation, staining (Gram, methylene blue, crystal violet), mounting, labeling. Proper staining is the difference between seeing nothing and everything. Techniques from the Pasteur Institute.
Rocket Engine Test Stand (Educational)
Tabletop test stand for small solid rocket motors. Measures thrust with a load cell and data logger. See the thrust curve, calculate impulse and burn time. I tested engines hundreds of times at my aunt Effie farm in Auburn. The neighbors complained. Worth it.
Orbital Mechanics Tutoring -- Getting to Space
One-on-one tutoring in spaceflight physics. Escape velocity, orbital insertion, Hohmann transfers, gravity assists. I worked this out by hand in the 1910s. Tip: Getting to orbit is not about going up. It is about going sideways fast enough.
Sales Training Masterclass -- Door-to-Door to Empire
Small group (max 6). I trained 20,000 Walker Agents. The secret is demonstration. Do not tell people your product works -- show them. Do not sell features -- sell transformation. I will teach you the Walker pitch: personal story, live demonstration, satisfied customer testimonial, close.
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.
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.
Environmental Advocacy Workshop -- Science Meets Policy
How to translate scientific evidence into public policy change. I will teach you how to build an airtight case, anticipate industry counterattacks, write for legislators who do not read journals, and testify under pressure. The chemical industry threw everything at me. I had the data. Data wins.
Quantum Mechanics for Non-Physicists
Two-hour session. Superposition, uncertainty, wave-particle duality, entanglement using analogies and demonstrations. Quantum mechanics is strange but the most precisely tested theory in science. Your phone uses it.
Stella Adler's Acting Technique (First Edition)
Stella Adler's own handbook, first edition. She studied with Stanislavski in Paris -- the only American actor who did. This book is the foundation. Strasberg got the attention, but Adler got the method right.
Makeup & Prosthetics Kit -- Physical Transformation
The kit I used to age myself for the Godfather screen test. Spirit gum, cotton balls, dental plumpers, hairpieces, and scar wax. Your face is clay. Tip: Physical transformation starts a chain reaction -- change your jaw and your voice changes, your posture shifts, the character emerges from the body outward.
Camera Confidence Workshop -- Owning the Lens
The camera is not your enemy. It's your best friend -- the one who sees everything and forgives everything. I teach you how to find your light, your angle, and your truth. We work with a live camera feed so you can see yourself the way the audience sees you.
