What a class! This week in our Moving Art Contraptions residency with COMPAS Teaching Artist Jan D. Elftmann, participants got to work on the electrical components of their robots. They learned what a circuit is, how it works, and how to safely use wire strippers—or "dinosaurs," as Jan called them! By the end of the lesson, everyone knew exactly where to place their wires and where to keep their fingers.

The excitement in the room was hard to miss when batteries were connected, switches were flipped, and pieces started spinning for the first time. It was also wonderful to see clients and staff working together throughout the evening. From problem-solving to assembling parts to celebrating successes, it was truly a team effort.

We're already looking forward to seeing what everyone adds to their projects next week!

Creativity kept rolling this week in our Moving Art Contraptions residency with COMPAS Teaching Artist Jan Elftmann!

Last week, participants focused on building the bases of their moving contraptions. This week, everyone got started assembling and decorating their robots, and it was amazing to see the creativity and teamwork between clients and staff as the projects began to really come to life.

Each robot is already full of personality, and we can’t wait to see what participants add to their moving creations next week!

This team from Purina was a huge help at our Clinton group home in Richfield! In addition to plenty of weeding, mulching, pruning and trimming, they helped to level the soil in the garden, giving it safer footing for Clinton resident, Asha, when she tends to her plants!
