SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Series: Cecelia Moseley
DESCRIPTION:Visiting Artist Series: Cecelia Moseley\nJoin us for our first Visiting Artist Series on Sunday\, October 3rd from 2-4 pm with Mississippi Artist\, Cecelia Moseley! \n  \n \nCecelia Moseley is an artist from Meridian\, MS who received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Sculpture from The University of Mississippi Spring of 2020. Currently\, she is a MFA Sculpture candidate at Louisiana State University.  \nFor Cecelia\, creating art\, whether its sculptures or paintings\, has always played some part in her life. Being diagnosed with dyslexia at an early age\, she found it difficult to express herself through writing. Whenever she fails to express herself through words\, art helps her\, which is the one thing she loves the most about art. \nIn her work\, Cecelia is drawn to abstract and figurative compositions through fabricated steel and cast metals. Conceptually her sculptures are formed together to create a new way of expression and representation of the way many dyslexics see and process the world through learning.  \nIn addition to pursuing her MFA\, Cecelia enjoys being involved with an artist community through working with the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council and The University of Mississippi Sculpture department. When she isn’t making art\, she enjoys traveling\, spending time with friends and family\, sailing\, and photography.  \n  \nThe four-part Visiting Artist Series series is funded by a grant from the Community Foundation of East Mississippi \n

SUMMARY:Coding Challenge
DESCRIPTION:CSpire Coding Challenge\nCoding is an important STEM skill for Mississippi kids. As part of MSF\, the LeFleur Museum District and C Spire encourage you to introduce Mississippi students to the programming language\, Scratch\, and participate in a coding activity available for all skill levels. \nScratch helps young people learn to think creatively\, reason systemically and work collaboratively – essential skills for life in the 21st century.  With Scratch\, you can program your own interactive stories\, games\, and animations. There’s no limit to what you can create. \nLeading up to Mississippi Science Fest\, please familiarize yourself and your students with Scratch through easy-to-use tutorials. There are even resources available for teachers. Click on these links to access frequently asked questions\, teacher resources and student tutorials. Then have your students create their own story using Scratch. \nOn Thursday\, September 16\, post photos of your end result on social media sites\, like Facebook\, Twitter\, Instagram and TikTok. Be sure and tag your post with #MSScienceFest and #CSpire to share with the Mississippi Science Fest and C Spire. We encourage all Mississippi students to participate. Happy coding! \nDid you know…\nDid you know that research estimates that by the year 2020\, there will be a shortage of over 1 million software developers in the United States? “For all we know\, the inventor of the next big thing or innovative app or software may be sitting in a Mississippi classroom waiting to be inspired and encouraged to become a leader in the rapidly evolving digital economy\,” said Carla Lewis\, Chief Technology Officer for C Spire. \nCoding Challenge brought to you by:

SUMMARY:Guest Reader: Kelly Harrison Spining
DESCRIPTION:Children’s book author\, Kelly Harrison Spining\, will be reading The Butterfly Tree at the museum on August 14th at 11AM & at 2PM.\n  \nAbout the Author: \nKelly Spining has been working with children for over thirty years\, with twelves of those years as a Kindergarten teacher. During that time\, she developed a love of writing and has written many short stories that she has shared with her classes. Her story\, “The Butterfly Tree\,” was inspired by a trip to her aunt’s house where she saw a bush covered with butterflies. The bush was so lush and beautiful that when she got home\, she sat down and wrote the story in about fifteen minutes. That was almost twenty years ago. However\, the theme of friendship that is featured in the story is a timeless lesson that she hopes will be conveyed to her young readers. Kelly is the proud mother of two daughters\, and the very proud Nana Kel to three beautiful granddaughters. She lives in Alabama with her husband Steve and is a faculty member at the University Charter School. \n  \n
