SUMMARY:“Living Worlds”
DESCRIPTION:Earth is a planet shaped by life. From the forests that help stabilize our climate\, to the winds carrying life-sustaining water and oxygen to far-flung parts of the globe\, the fingerprints of life are visible even from many light years away. \nWhether earthly or alien\, all life leaves a trace. Join narrator Daveed Diggs on a journey through space and time to discover how life makes Earth liveable\, where it could be found elsewhere in the cosmos\, and what new technologies we might use to find it. Along the way\, you’ll learn how light and color can help us spot other living worlds even from vast distances—and develop a new appreciation for the one-of-a-kind planet right beneath our feet. \nShow length ~25 min. \nThis program is followed by a quick look at the constellations\, planets and other celestial wonders visible in the night sky from our region. \n.avia-button-avb69f1bf3bd9f96:hover {background-color: #444444 !important;color: #ffffff !important;transform: translateZ(0) scale(1.03); }Click here to register online for tickets

SUMMARY:Intro to MIG Welding
DESCRIPTION:MIG or wire feed welding is a great place to start your welding journey!\n\n\nStudents will learn the basics of MIG/wire feed welding and using a hand-held plasma cutter\, practice both\, and then create a unique piece of their own! We will also have the option of welding a simple bird should you choose to use the outline provided rather than creating your own. \nPlease wear all natural fibers (like cotton; we recommend jeans and a t-shirt/sweatshirt) close-toed shoes\, full length pants\, and no loose/dangly garments or jewelry. We recommend bringing a natural fiber jacket in case you get chilly\, as we may open the door for more ventilation. We also suggest bringing a water bottle! Otherwise\, just bring yourself and be ready to have a good time! \nAge 16+\, under 18 MUST be accompanied by a guardian. \n\n\n\nYour instructor\, Jaime Maginnis\, has years of practice with welding. He enjoys indulging others’ curiousity in metal\, and we are so glad he agreed to teach with us! Our President and Director\, Lucy and Linore\, as well as donor match Mark got to be his guinea pigs to nail down the class flow and it was a blast!

SUMMARY:Beginner Backpacker Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Spring is a perfect time of year to see new beauty growing in the outdoors\, but planning for a camping or backpacking trip can seem overwhelming with the variety of options one can find. This May\, Bays Mountain Park and Planetarium is offering a two-part program on all the essentials needed for just about any backpacking adventure you go on! Whether you are new to the idea and want advice or have camped outside before\, this in depth workshop will make sure you know what to bring and what can be left at home while out in the wilderness. The first program goes over the basics of backpacking for those who are building their knowledge or gear. Later in the month\, participants will have the opportunity to practice their knowledge on an overnight backpacking trip on park property where you will be guided by a ranger down to the park’s primitive camp site and spend a night under the stars.\n\nThe one-day class will be held on Friday\, May 8 from 6 – 7 p.m.\n\nYou may also sign up for the overnight backpacking trip on Saturday\, May 23 through Sunday\, May 24. The hike will start at the mountain bike parking area at 3:00 p.m. and hikers can plan to be back on Sunday by 2:00 p.m. Participants who attend the class are not required to go on the trip\, though we do ask anyone who would like to go on the backpacking trip to first attend the class. This is a separate registration\, you need to register for the “Class and Overnight” if you wish to participate in both.\n\nAll participants attending the overnight stay will need to bring their own equipment\, including food. Wood will be available for fire building. Camping by tent is advised\, as hammock locations are not guaranteed.\n\nIf you have any further questions about the class or trip\, please reach out to the park by calling 423-229-9447 or contacting Ranger Laura Ellis at 423-343-9727 or email at LauraEllis@Kingsporttn.gov.\n\nRegistration is required and costs $10 per person for the class\, and $30 per person for both the class and overnight trip. Those with young children should reach out to Ranger Laura prior to registering.\n\n.avia-button-avb69f1bf3c063d4:hover {background-color: #444444 !important;color: #ffffff !important;transform: translateZ(0) scale(1.03); }Click here to register for tickets
