Pottery Class for a Badge: The Class will include all of the steps for the Pottery Badge. Our location has a Gallery for girls to see pottery by a number of ceramic artists. The class will be in our studio which is a active studio where the girls can see where artists are working. We will give them a tour of the studio which include the electric and gas kilns we use. We will explain the process of making ceramic pottery. There will be a demonstration of ways to work with clay such as throwing and hand building. There will be a couple options of things the girls can make out of clay. They will then be able to decorate and glaze their pieces and we will fire them.

What EEME Teaches?
1. Curiosity By combining hands-on projects with online curricula, we tap into kids' innate curiosity by getting them to build with their hands, at the same time as they interact with quizzes that ensure they understand the workings behind the project.
2. Communication By building a platform where kids can mentor other kids in what they've already learned, kids will learn by teaching. Not only that, they will learn how to lead, how to effectively communicate their ideas, and how to break down complex pieces of knowledge into simpler ones.
3. Critical Thinking By explaining the "why" in addition to the "how," we teach kids how to ask questions and to take charge of their learning.
