Creative Patching
Creative Patching will focus on how to repair holes, tears, and stains in clothing using fabric patches and hand embroidery techniques. Participants will learn about tools and materials for patching, and how to combine fabric patches with simple hand embroidery stitches to create eye-catching visible mends. Leave class with a sampler of techniques that you can refer back to when tackling your own mends at home. Suitable for beginners with little or no sewing experience.

A Juggler's Guide to Many-Body Quantum Mechanics (Main)
Internationally acclaimed juggler Jacob D’Eustacio and Harvard theoretical chemist Dr. Paul J. Robinson will teach advanced concepts in quantum mechanics through a show blending juggling performance and scientific lecture. They use juggling to build intuition about important chemical physics phenomena like electronic excited states and electron-phonon coupling: concepts that are key to understanding everything from microchips to solar panels and are essential to efforts in designing new more efficient materials.
