  • Episode 60: Making Goal Planning Supportive and Fun

    In this episode of Art and Science Punks Kate and Rob talk about why do we do goal planning and what makes the process successful. As we reflect we ask questions like:

    • What makes the year successful?
    • How much prep is needed? Is prep needed?
    • Is it fun?
    • For someone who has never done it before, how do I start?
    • What if we started a goal planning band?
    • Kate and Rob also share an art pick and a science pick this week: one is a sort of camera in space the other is a fun use for folded paper.

      • Episode 59: Connecting and Reconnecting

        In this episode of Art and Science Punks Kate and Rob talk about connection, not only connection to friends and family (as is the season) but connection to projects, past passions, hobbies that you may have put down for a while.

        What are your favorite ways to connect with family and/or friends?

        How do you re-connect with those you haven't seen in a while?

        Kate and Rob also share an art pick and a science pick this week: one is a sort of space drill the other is something shiny.

        • Episode 58: Hand Made Gifts

          In this episode of Art and Science Punks Kate and Rob talk about making gifts by hand, why we got into that, some of the projects that went well and others that didn't. Some projects we pick are a bit ambitious given our current skills or time available.

          How do we find the right project and how do we help our kids with that same process?

          Kate and Rob also share an art pick and a science pick this week: one is a test you don't study for the other is a book of tips.
