WHAT'S NEW AT THE TECH VALLEY CENTER OF GRAVITY
TVCOG is offering a number of camps perfect for kids in 5th - 8th grade!
July 13 - 17 :: Docs that Rock We'll be focused on the human body and medicine for the week collaborating with cardiologists and gastroenterologists to consider the role of robotics in modern surgery. We'll be collaborating with orthopedists to 3D print prosthetic hands for children born with congenital defects or who may be amputees through the eNable program. We'll work with an artist to learn how to sketch the human body like Leonardo daVinci did. We'll cover all of the human body systems with an integrated STEAM approach.
July 20th - 24 :: ExploraVision: Prototyping the Future Camp this week is inpired by the NSTA/Toshiba competition that asks kids to imagine a current technology project, then project it 20 years into the future. What role will it play? The competition is a ~30 page paper. We challenge kids to work on prototyping their technology instead of focusing on the paper. We then support them as they develop a technical presentation to explain the history and future of that technology to a group of non-technical folks. Kids who are interested in entering the ExploraVision competition are given direction and mentorship.
August 10 - 14 :: Ancient Greece A very integrated STEAM experience collaborating with architects, engineers and artists to explore Ancient Greece. We'll experiment with water and leavers like Archimedes did. We'll carve soap and wood to make Grecian columns. We'll make Greek urns, pottery and jewelry using high tech and low tech methods.
August 24 -28 :: Backyard Ballistics We'll build catapults, trebuchets, potato cannons, rockets, and fire kites in this exploration of history and design. Kids will learn the physics and chemistry of weapons. They'll use hands on tools, power tools, laser cutters, and 3D printers to prototype their own designs. Like every week in the ThinQubator, all projects are guided by teachers and engineers with strong emphasis on safety.. but in particular this week!
Interested in signing up? Contact Erica Iannotti of TVCOG for more info!

Pink Martini
Monday, July 13th, 8pm
Pink Martini draws on diverse influences to weave a seamless musical fabric that defies immediate classification, but has been lauded by critics throughout the world for its international flavor and ability to entertain.
The Boston Globe commented, "The recipe for a Pink Martini would read something like this: One part French chanson, one part Argentine tango, one part soft merengue beat, and a dash of gin-joint jazz. Combine ingredients and shake vigorously over old Hollywood glamour. Pour into a glass and garnish with a paper parasol."
First attaining recognition during the lounge music revival of the mid- and late-1990s as exemplified by such acts as the Cherry Poppin' Daddies and bands of that ilk. Pink Martini sought a wider variety of styles, from Japanese torch songs to Maurice Ravel's "Bolero." According to the group's musical leader, Thomas Lauderdale, "Pink Martini is like a romantic Hollywood musical of the 1940's or 50's - but with a global perspective which is modern," he wrote on the band's official website. "We bring melodies and rhythms from different parts of the world together." Describing themselves as a "pop orchestra" and as "music archaeologists," Pink Martini was described in the Washington Post as "digging up neglected treasures and styles from the past and reinventing them for the 21st century. But there's nothing pedantic about the result: This is rich, hugely approachable music, utterly cosmopolitan yet utterly unpretentious."
