Plastic pollution is one of the biggest challenges facing our oceans and wildlife, but you can build the skills to do something about it. Join Nearer to Nature and ReMida in this interactive session designed to help you launch a real-world plastic reuse project. Whether you want to start a movement at school, get creative at home, or lead an initiative in your local community, you'll learn how to intercept discarded plastics and prototype them into functional, well-designed new creations.
Bring your ideas, collaborate with others, and discover how to turn a creative concept into an active environmental solution.
This is a DROP & GO event. Please bring your child into the foyer on arrival and check them in with staff before departing.
Note each registration requires guardians to complete a medical form at checkout (follow prompts when registering).
