Lakota Bow & Arrow Set (Sinew-Backed, 20 Arrows)
Short sinew-backed bow, 45-pound draw, optimized for mounted use. Twenty dogwood arrows with iron and flint points. This is what we hunted buffalo with from horseback at full gallop -- one arrow could pass through a buffalo at close range.
Underground Railroad Seminar -- Building Resistance Networks
How to build and operate a clandestine network. Safe houses, codes, route planning, compartmentalization (each station knows only the next), vetting members. The Railroad operated for decades under the noses of slavers and federal marshals. Tip: Trust is your most valuable and most dangerous resource. Verify before you trust.
Chemistry Lab Fundamentals -- Precision & Safety
Small group (max 4). Proper lab technique: titration, crystallization, fractional precipitation, safe handling of chemicals. I'll teach you the way I learned at the Sorbonne -- hands on, precise, no shortcuts. You will weigh to four decimal places. You will label every beaker. You will keep a proper lab notebook. Sloppiness in a lab kills people. I should know.
Electromagnetic Induction Demonstration Kit
Magnets, copper wire coils, galvanometer, and iron rings. I will show you how moving a magnet through a coil generates electricity -- the experiment that powers civilization. On August 29, 1831, I wrapped two coils around an iron ring and discovered that changing the current in one coil induced current in the other.
Data Visualization Workshop -- Make Numbers Speak
I invented the polar area diagram to show Parliament that soldiers died from bad sanitation. Numbers in a table are ignorable. Numbers in a picture are undeniable. Bring your data. Leave with a visual argument.
First Aid & Wound Care Training
Wound cleaning, bandaging, splinting, infection prevention. Tip: Wash your hands. In 1854, army surgeons did not wash between patients. I made them. The death rate dropped 40 percent. Hygiene is not optional.
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.
Women in STEM Mentoring -- Credit and Recognition
One-on-one mentoring. My work was used without my knowledge. My contribution was minimized for decades. I will teach you how to protect your intellectual contribution: documentation, publication timing, co-authorship agreements, and when to speak up. The work is everything, but credit matters too.
The Art of Deception -- Empty Fort & Beyond
When Sima Yi came with 150,000 troops and I had 100 men, I opened the gates, sat on the wall, and played my qin. He retreated. The lesson: a strong reputation is a weapon. Your enemy's fear of what you might do is more powerful than what you actually can do. This workshop covers deception operations across history.
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.
Sterile Technique Workshop -- Infection Prevention
Hands-on aseptic technique: surgical scrub, gloving, draping, instrument sterilization, wound cleaning. Before carbolic acid, half of surgical patients died from infection. Surgeons operated in frock coats stiff with dried blood.
Laboratory Safety Equipment Set (PPE, Full Kit)
Complete lab safety kit: goggles, face shield, nitrile gloves, lab coat, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, chemical spill kit. My brother died in an explosion. Safety is not optional. Every experiment begins with the question: what is the worst that can happen, and am I prepared for it?
