Short Activities
Short activities are brief hands-on experiences lasting less than 15 minutes for small groups of people.
They are often presented at a table, cart, or demonstration space in a variety of settings such as a museum exhibit gallery, classroom, or other public or group setting. Multiple short activities can be combined to form a longer activity.
Watch and Create! Creativity For Sustainability
In this activity, learners work together to explore their relationship with technology and examine ways to make sustainable media consumption choices.
