This workshop is open to youth entering grades 7 – 9. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to create a time capsule – a folder or box of memories and keepsakes meant to capture what life was like at a certain moment in time? Join us as we engage in a number of fun, interactive and creative activities and curate our own pandemic time capsules. We’ll share playlists, create blockbuster pandemic movie plots, rate our personal pandemic highs and lows and share some tips with each other on how we made it through this most challenging year. We’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions of Gates Foundation staff working to end the pandemic worldwide. Each participant will walk away with a digital scrapbook or folder, meant to be “dug up” and re-read some time in the distant future, offering opportunities for further reflection.
