SUMMARY:Imagining Radical Communication with a DIY FM Transmitter
DESCRIPTION:A beginner friendly workshop that will teach attendees how to build a small FM radio transmitter.\n\n\nThis is a beginner friendly workshop that will teach attendees how to build a small FM radio transmitter while  breaking the assumption that you need an engineering degree to start building your own electronics. In addition to teaching technical skills\, we will be offering a brief political context of radical radio organizing\, past and present\, and how people can start to think about building their own communication networks to keep themselves and their neighbors safe. Understanding radio is a great first step in demystifying networked communication. \nThis workshop requires no previous electronics experience and will consist of actions like hand-placing small components and wires and placing them in a breadboard. Participants will leave with a working radio transmitter that is powerful enough to transmit about one city block and a small publication with instructions for building the circuit and some examples of how radio and DIY networks can be used for radical organizing. Through the process of building electronics and learning together\, we hope that this technology will inspire folks to explore radio as a form of communication and experiment with broadcasting as a radical medium. We hope participants will leave the workshop feeling more empowered to take control of their online presence and potential to broadcast. No prior electronics experience is needed! \n \nJoin us at Cherry Street Pier at the Termite TV Studio \n \nFacilitator Bios: \nHannah Tardie (they/them) is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work exists as sculpture\, installation\, essays\, event organization\, and performance. Tardie views electronics as rich transferential objects through which we can explore intimacy\, attachment\, and queer relationality. Their work has been shown at La Gaite Lyrique\, SPACE Gallery\, Westbeth Gallery\, One Brooklyn Bridge Park\, Arts\, Letters\, & Numbers\, Vox Populi\, Pig Iron Theatre Company\, and online via websites like Artsy.net\, maps-dna-and-spam\, and p5.js. Tardie has participated in residencies at Arts\, Letters\, & Numbers\, ChaNorth\, Alterworks\, Crit NYC\, and the Media Archaeology Lab (forthcoming). Tardie was on the organizing committee of the 2021 experimental iteration of the Movement and Computing Conference\, lovingly termed Slo MoCo. They solely organized Temple University’s first Electronics Faire in 2024\, an annual event they continue to steward. Tardie currently manages a makerspace at Temple University Library’s Loretta C. Duckworth Scholars Studio. \nDerek Schwartz (he/him) is an audio engineer\, writer\, and technologist practicing the art of weaving networks. His values are rooted in DIY music culture\, and prior to coming to Philadelphia\, he spent time in St. Louis as a music writer and production assistant at KDHX Radio. In his current audio practice\, he produces\, mixes\, and records audio for film and music\, and creates experimental audio projects that play with waveforms\, radio\, and physical media. He is currently pursuing a Masters of Science in Music Technology at Temple University.

SUMMARY:Free art show-Animal House- works by Elizabeth Beecher
DESCRIPTION:Beecher’s world has been gloriously encircled by the quirkiness and humor found by way of fur and feathered animals. Her art reflect the embrace of joyfulness found in our backyard companions and the boost that a colorful world provides us. Clearly a whimsical\, unique artist\, she’s inspired by the animals in her own life\, as well as the those cherished in others’. Such attention is made on bringing them to new form by way of the mixed media process through bright and bold expressions. Beecher acknowledges her muses in having unique personalities worthy of sharing and persevering for us all\, and that is further enhanced by her method of collaging pattern and materials into the compositions.\nDo not miss the opportunity to view these wonderful works in person. Stop in the gallery 5 days a week to view. All works are also available for sale online.

SUMMARY:Making Stormwater Come Alive
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the annual Haverford College Arboretum\, Hardy Plant Society\, and Henry Botanic Garden Lecture\, presented by Lucy Dinsmore.\n\n\nGrading and piping may not get you excited\, but plants probably do. They are the reason green stormwater infrastructure works\, and the plant palette is expansive. This talk will look at inspiration from public gardens and private spaces\, and also show real-life solutions to landscape problems. With extreme storm events on the rise\, we can manage the effects with functional gardens. Let’s rethink our gardens and dig deeper—literally\, dig into the land to make space for water. \n \nThis event is a partnership sponsored by Haverford College Arboretum\, the Hardy Plant Society\, and Henry Botanic Garden. At 2:00 p.m. there will be a free campus tour given by Haverford College Arboretum horticulturists featuring our rain gardens. This lecture will take place in Sharpless Hall at Haverford College Arboretum and will be accompanied by light refreshments. \n\,  \nSpeaker Biography: Lucy Dinsmore owns and operates Plant Lady Lucy LLC\, a design/build company specializing in native plants and stormwater solutions in PA and DE. She’s an ISA-certified arborist (International Society of Arboriculture) and was a staff horticulturist for nine years at the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania. Lucy is also the program manager for Catch the Rain\, a rebate program in the White Clay Watershed that provides technical and financial assistance to homeowners wishing to implement green stormwater projects.

SUMMARY:Self-Led Biodiversity Bashes
DESCRIPTION:Initiate your own exploration of the great outdoors at one of our preserves\, open from dawn to dusk. Some preserves are only open six days a week (one day reserved for rest; please check the website before you visit).  \nOnce you upload your photo discovery to iNaturalist\, it will automatically appear in our “project\,” which allows Natural Lands staff\, volunteers\, and scientists to see what species are present at our preserved open spaces. This will further educate future land management practices\, and augment our knowledge of the rich biodiversity living at these special places.  \nThis initiative will last throughout the month of September\, but that doesn’t mean community science comes to an end. Any time you are visiting our preserves\, you are welcome to take as many photographs as you would like and submit them to iNaturalist.  \nWe ask that you do not harm any of the flora\, fauna\, or funga that you encounter or study on these Biodiversity Bashes. Please practice the Leave No Trace policy and only take photos as souvenirs. We also ask that you remain on-trail at all times\, and do not enter sensitive habitat areas.
