Curious Creatures workshops and exhibitions consist of an ever growing collection of learning tools in the form of kinetic sculpture and recycled design.
Children are able to discover, with hands on play, fundamental mechanical principles such as cams, the screw, gears, cogs, spring, pulley and center of balance
Children engage in socialized learning, discussions and questions of the predictive outcomes of various activities.
Curious Creatures is sponsored in part by a Spark Award from the Sprout Fund.

The Power Flower is a 12' wind driven kinetic sculpture and is the first in an evolving series of energy producing public art designs.
The Power Flower collects sun and wind energy with a wind turbine, driven by spinning flower petals, and photo voltaic solar film leaf surfaces. A rainwater collector serves as base and ballast. The sculpture can provide DC power for laptops, phones or even water pump features for garden applications. The sculpture also powers LED lighting for night time illumination. A weather-proof controller maintains safe power levels and timed programmable lighting. The sculpture is transportable and sets up easily for events and exhibitions.
