WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000 music 00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:04.000 What we're doing on campus today is really exciting! 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.000 We're doing a workshop called the iCrab, Dance & Coding. 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.000 We're taking 3 things and bringing 'em together 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.000 to solve a problem. What's the problem? 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.000 We want to tell the community about the effects 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.000 of global warming on the crab population. 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.000 And the idea is that we're making a video which 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.000 is why we have the green screen behind us 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.000 because we're making a video to inform 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.000 the community about what's happening with 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.000 climate change and how it's affecting crabs. 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.000 We were trying to think of an issue that's really is specific 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.000 to kind of our area that kids might enjoy learning about. 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.000 And the crabs, the hypoxia that happens off the Oregon Coast, 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.000 is really kind of a unique phenomena. 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.000 And having more people aware of the fact that 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.000 it's happening and that it's something 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.000 relatively new, is really important. 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.000 And good, and go...dead crabs. 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.000 The goal of today's camp was to teach kiddos 00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.000 who live close to the coast what's happening 00:00:59.000 --> 00:00:61.000 to our crabs because of climate change. 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.000 Coding and science and dance, 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.000 all these things are interconnected. 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.000 They take a lot of classes in high school 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.000 and elementary school, middle school that are 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.000 feel really siloed. Like math is separate, 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.000 than science is separate, than creative arts. 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.000 But really all these things are interconnected. 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:24.000 So we try to weave together the dance, and the science and coding. 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.000 My favorite part was probably the coding. 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.000 I like the fact that you can change every part of it. 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.000 So they coded the colors of the LEDs 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.000 So in the case of oxygen they chose the color red, 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.000 when it was oxygen rich and when it was oxygen poor, 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.000 they chose the color blue or they coded the color blue. 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.000 We need to help learn about the environment more. 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.000 My favorite part of the camp today 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.000 is the dancing that we did earlier. 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.000 We were dancing with fans 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:60.000 and the moves were really, really fun. 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.000 In order to get the campers who some of them have never danced before 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.000 to the point where they could perform in front of the green screen, 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.000 what we did was we used the movement from the crabs, 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.000 the movement of the water or the ocean and the movement of the wind. 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.000 We used that, we created movement and that's how we created our dance. 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.000 Today we're learning about crabs and 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.000 coding, and dancing and doing fun stuff like that. 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.000 It's important to learn about climate change and what's happening with crabs 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.000 because if they're endangered and we don't 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.000 learn about crabs then, we can't help them. 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.000 So what you guys are going to do, you're doing to be there, 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.000 you guys are going to keep the water going there. 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.000 I'm hopeful that participants will have come away 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.000 with an intuitive understanding of the dynamic nature 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:48.000 of coastal hypoxia. In learning and performing this dance, 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.000 they will experience directly how changing winds 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.000 and water movements cause variability in oxygen levels. 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:60.000 My favorite part today is probably being able to dress up like a crab. 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.000 Seeing the kids go from being a little bit kind of hum-drum this morning, 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.000 what are you doing, to excited and fighting over who got to wear 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.000 the crab costume and move in a new way. 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.000 And they all worked together to help each other 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.000 and build on each other's strengths. Right? 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.000 Because that's what we need in an interconnected world is folks with 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.000 different strengths working together 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.000 to solve challenging problems like climate change. 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.000 music
