Description
This Workshop is STUFFED with learning! Makers will research bear-themed literature for inspiration, and then imagine and write their own story. They will design this character, to create a beloved plush teddy bear, the character of their story brought to life. Makers will learn all about the process of manufacturing. They will compare and contrast artisan manufacturing with industrial manufacturing, and get a taste of what a teddy bear factory is like! Makers will explore the history of manufacturing and how it has benefited society, and then they will manufacture their very own teddy bear! They will perform Quality Control by making sure their product meets all regulatory snuggle standards. By the end of this workshop, our young authors/budding entrepreneurs will be equipped to market their product, a lovable plush bear with an engaging backstory...but if they choose to keep it instead, we wouldn’t blame them! The teddy bears are pretty cute!
The curriculum provides educational videos, including a visit to the bear factory where the skins were produced. It also contains step-by-step instructions on how to ladder stitch. And there are fun facts about teddy bears and a curated list of bear stories for various ages to inspire Makers to imagine their own bear tale!
