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.
Nature Writing Workshop -- Science as Literature
Small group (max 5). I will teach you to write about science with beauty and precision. Observe a tide pool, a meadow, a single tree -- then write what you see so that readers feel it. The Sea Around Us sold two million copies because people could taste the salt. Accuracy and poetry are not enemies.
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.
Color Theory & Photography Demo -- First Color Photo
In 1861, I produced the first color photograph by combining three black-and-white photos taken through red, green, and blue filters. I will demonstrate the principle. Every screen you look at uses this method. RGB. Three colors make a world. Includes hands-on experiments with color mixing and filters.
Periodic Table Workshop -- Patterns in Nature
Interactive session. We will build the periodic table from scratch using element property cards. Arrange them by weight, notice the patterns, predict the gaps. You will discover what I discovered -- that nature organizes itself. Tip: The table is not arbitrary. It reflects the structure of atoms themselves.
Chemistry Tutoring -- Elements, Compounds & Reactions
One-on-one tutoring from the man who organized all of chemistry. I will teach you how elements combine, why some react violently and others are inert, and how the periodic table predicts it all. Bring your textbook questions. I wrote the textbook that started it all.
Pattern Recognition Seminar -- Finding Order in Chaos
Small group (max 4). Not just chemistry -- the skill of finding patterns in any dataset. I will give you messy data and teach you to sort, classify, and predict. The periodic table was a pattern recognition exercise. The same skill applies to business data, medical records, financial trends, or any complex system.
Braille Reading & Writing Workshop
Learn to read and write Braille. Six dots, 63 combinations, any language. In two hours you will write your name and read simple words by touch. Sighted people benefit too -- it sharpens tactile awareness and spatial thinking.
Anti-Colonial Resistance Seminar -- 16 Years Against France
How I fought the French empire for sixteen years with local resources. Scorched earth, strategic retreat, rebuilding in new territory, diplomatic maneuvering with the British. When France took my western empire, I built a new one further east. Tip: If you cannot hold the ground, take the people and the knowledge. Territory can be reconquered. Dead men cannot.
Philosophy of Martial Arts Workshop -- Small Group
Small group session (max 6). We discuss Tao Te Ching, Krishnamurti, and the connection between combat and self-knowledge. Tip: Knowing is not enough, you must apply. Willing is not enough, you must do. Bring a notebook.
Tang Soo Do Fundamentals -- From White to Green Belt
Traditional Korean martial arts training. We start with basic stances, blocks, and kicks. No flashy nonsense -- just solid technique that works. I'll teach the same forms I learned at Osan Air Base in 1958. Tip: Your roundhouse kick should come from the hip, not the knee. Most beginners kick with their leg. Champions kick with their whole body.
Action Scene Workshop -- How to Throw a Punch on Camera
Film fighting is NOT real fighting. I'll teach you camera angles, pull distances, reaction timing, and how to sell a hit. We'll choreograph a 30-second fight scene by the end of the session. Bruce Lee taught me the value of screen combat efficiency -- I'm passing it on.
