Model Rocketry Workshop -- Build & Launch
Build a solid-fuel model rocket, learn thrust, drag, stability, recovery, then launch. We calculate expected altitude before launch and measure after. Tip: Center of pressure behind center of gravity. If not, it tumbles.
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.
Radio History & Maritime Safety Lecture
Wireless at sea: from first ship-to-shore messages to the Titanic to modern GMDSS. 700 survived because Jack Phillips stayed at his post sending SOS until power failed. After Titanic, every ship was required to carry wireless.
Complete Mechanic Tool Set (Metric & Imperial)
Full mechanic tool set: wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, pliers, torque wrench, feeler gauges, timing light. Quality tools are an investment. Cheap tools break at the worst moment.
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.
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.
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.
Color Filter Set (Optical, RGB + Complementary)
Precision optical filters: red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow. Mount them on a light source and explore additive and subtractive color mixing. Combine red and green light -- you get yellow. This surprises everyone. Color is not in the objects. Color is in the light and in your eyes.
Element Sample Collection (Safe, 30 Elements)
Thirty element samples in labeled vials: iron, copper, tin, sulfur, silicon, carbon (graphite and diamond chip), aluminum, zinc, and more. Each labeled with atomic number, weight, and properties. Hold the building blocks of the universe in your hand. Some are shiny, some are dull, some are gas in sealed ampules.
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.
Organ Concert & Music Lesson (Beginner)
I was the organist at the Church of Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs in Paris. I also developed Braille music notation so blind musicians could read scores. This lesson covers basic organ technique and an introduction to reading music by touch.
