Five of our sites have an indoor gardening system called a Tower Garden. It is self-watered and uses artificial lights that are set on a timer. Once a week the members check the pH level of the water and refill the water basin.
All the members love watching how quickly the plants grow and they are excited to have a harvest party very soon where they will get to enjoy the yummy things they have grown. The members are learning about planting seeds and noticing the different stages of plant life. They also completed a worksheet about the different type of vitamins that we get from vegetables, and the importance of each vitamin.

Our final stop animation movie was made by Bianca and Taylor. Their movie is about Breakfast Bullying. Egg is giving bacon a hard time, so bacon and sausage come up with a revenge plot at the butter skating rink. This was made using 220 photos!!
Stop animation movie .. Kimberlee's movie is about a space dog trying to find a home, when he finally stumbles upon Earth, where he makes a new life with humans.
Over a 5 week program at the Buffalo Public Library members from our Babcock Clubhouse were able to create stop animation movies from every day materials. Each second is compiled of 10 consecutive photos. Great job! #STEAM Franklin's movie is about an employee who accidentally trips, and breaks his bosses computer. After being yelled at, he rushes to the market to get his boss an new computer.
