Water Works for TEENS

July 17, 2023 - July 21, 2023

$250
  • « Maestra – Documentary Screening and Filmmaker Q&A
  • Waterworks; Environmental Construction for Teens »

Vector Space Lynchburg’s own makerspace will be providing teens who have a knack for building or a heart for environmentalism ages 14-19 the opportunity to build beautiful and functional downspout planters.

Event Start Date: Monday, Jul 17, 2023 | 9:00 am

Overview
When it rains in urban areas, the water meets impermeable surfaces and has few places to go. On its way to the storm drain, it tends to carry along all sorts of waste we’d rather not have in our watershed. One solution to this problem is to build downspout planters that catch the water from our roofs, filter it, and allow some to evaporate. It’s an effective and beautiful solution, and all it requires is someone who knows how to make things.

In this project, 10 high school students will build 10 downspout planters for the new Vector Space building on Memorial Ave. Students will develop a design, they will be taught to use the tools required to build their design, and will ultimately work with wood, metal, stone, and PVC to bring their design to life. In the process, students will learn about stormwater and its importance to our community, and finally plant the beds with vegetation thoughtfully chosen.
