Tuesdays at the Hive - Plan (and Make) your Halloween Costume
2015-10-27 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver)
Not sure what to be for Halloween? Not sure how to make that terrifying/hilarious/clever/outrageous costume? Well, neither are we – but, that’s why we think that coming together in the spirit of making and planning is the way to go. Come by the Hive from 7-8pm to join others as you plan, make and get your Halloween groove going. We’ll have a sewing machine, cardboard, and a whole lot of “raw materials” for you to use. So come by, plan, share, and make this Halloween your best ever.

Intro to 3D printing - Tuesdays at the Hive
2015-10-13 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver)
We’re super thrilled to have our first student-run mini-workshop. This week William Lamb (Pomona second year) will give us an introduction to 3D printing by showing us the basics of shape manipulation in Meshmixer. By the end of the workshop you’ll have made a 3D shape. After the workshop we’ll print your design for you.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.
Important Notes!
1. We’ll have limited spots/equipment so if you can, please bring your own laptop with Meshmixer downloaded. http://www.meshmixer.com/download.html
2. If you bring your own laptop, you’ll also need a mouse.
3. It’s awesome to bring your own laptop because you’ll then be able to play with these tools at home.

Empathetic Listening - Tuesdays at the Hive
2015-09-22 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
This 1-hour workshop will give you a quick, hands-on overview of empathetic listening, a skill used in problem solving of all kinds, and one of several tools used in everything from design thinking to mediation to interpersonal communication.

This is a great opportunity to get some concrete skills for how to have — or more accurately, how to be a good listener in — conversations that can uncover people’s real needs and help foster an atmosphere of true collaboration.

Visual Communication - Tuesdays at the Hive
2015-09-29 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | The Hive – 130 E 7th Street, Claremont, CA 91711, 130 E. 7th St, Claremont, CA, 91711, United States
If you can’t draw, but you’d like to try, swing by our visual communication mini-workshop. In one hour of hands-on instruction we’ll teach you how to draw faster and better people (you’ll never go back to stick figures). And you’ll also learn how to do the basics of hand lettering! It’ll be a fun, inky, scribbly hour.

Sound Lab 01: Mic'ing
2018-02-20 19:00 - 20:15 (America/Los_Angeles) | The Hive at the Claremont Colleges, 130 E 7th St, Claremont, CA, 91711, United States
What does your hand sound like to a pencil… water bottle… steering wheel? How does a space express itself aurally? Does what you physically interact with have its own sensory experience?
Join us for a workshop where you will have the opportunity to make your own instruments using alternative mic’ing and sound recording techniques. In this participatory experience we will explore the boundaries of noise and music, harnessing the tactility of sound. Attendees will leave with tools for collecting sounds for media projects such as podcasts, music and sounds art. Specifically, participants will obtain skills in the use of microphones that pick up sounds of contact, underwater vibrations and electromagnetic fields.
Limited spots available. Register now!

Lovin' the Loop Pedal (Mini-Workshop)
2016-08-31 18:45 - 20:00 (America/Denver)
Back by popular demand! It’s not everyday that someone puts a box in front of you and tells you it will only work if you stomp on it. It’s an infinitely more peculiar day when someone tells you that the result of stomping on a box, with a few steps in between, is the creation of beautiful music. Fortunately, that day is coming soon and that box is called a loop pedal.
Buzz on down to the Hive on Wednesday, August 31st for a workshop that’s all about the importance of practicing musical collaboration and the potential to do it through musical devices like loop pedals. You don’t need an ounce of musical training to participate — all you need is a little bravery, open ears, and a willingness to make a lot of music and a lot of mistakes.
Check out this interview we did with workshop leader Sajo Jefferson (PO ’19) after last fall’s version of this workshop if you want to learn more about how awesome it will be: http://creativity.claremont.edu/faces-hive-sajo-jefferson-po-19/
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to gail.gallaher@pomona.edu so that we can know how many people to expect and keep the group under about 30 people!

REGISTRATION REQUIRED! CLICK THE LINK TO SIGN UP:
https://forms.gle/yY33ePLtL7kc5aubA
Learn how to convey your ideas, communicate more effectively, and develop effective teamwork through LEGO Serious Play and Improvisation techniques.
As adults, the word “play” is typically used in conjunction with a form of competition but, “play” can also carry negative connotations and be seen as a waste of time, especially during times of supposed productivity.
Children play with an unmitigated sense of wonderment and imagination. They form bonds with one another and learn alternative forms of communication and problem solving, without any preconceived notions or fear of judgement.
We need to relearn how to play again and be more childlike in our daily interactions and during this session, we’ll explore methods for strategic decision making, problem solving, communication and teamwork, through playful, yet serious ways of creating new insights and developing innovative ideas.
We will be raffling off a set of curated Serious Play LEGOs at the event.
