Jenn Tabor is a high school chemistry teacher who believes science is more than formulas and lab reports, it is a way of seeing the world with curiosity and courage. She is passionate about helping students think critically, ask better questions, and discover that chemistry connects to justice, sustainability, and everyday life. When she’s not in the classroom, she can be found riding her bicycle, spending time with her spouse and their two dalmatians, or playing ukulele for church and Beer & Hymns. She is especially interested in practical, hope-filled science that addresses real human needs, from clean water to climate resilience.

| Title Short | Unbound & Unplugged - A Ukulele Sing Along |
| Venue | Terra |
| Experience Description | Bring your ukulele — or just your voice.
This relaxed, joy-filled session invites beginners and seasoned players alike to sing and strum simple, beloved songs together. With just a few easy chords, we’ll create a space where music is shared rather than performed, and everyone is part of the sound.
No stage. No pressure. No perfection required.
We’ll play through familiar hymns and folk favorites, music that’s meant to be sung loudly and with friends. Chord sheets will be provided, and we’ll keep everything accessible for newer players.
In a world that often feels divided and curated, there is something deeply connecting about making music together in real time. Four strings. Open voices. Shared breath.
Come ready to strum, sing, laugh, and remember that joy multiplies when it’s shared. |

| Title Short | Pulling Water from Thin Air |
| Venue | Science Tent |
| Experience Description | What if water didn’t have to come from a river, well, or pipe? What if it could be gathered from the air around us?
In this interactive session, we’ll explore emerging research on super-hygroscopic hydrogels, materials engineered to capture water vapor from dry air and release it for use. These innovations challenge traditional limits of water access and invite us to imagine systems less bound by geography and scarcity.
Participants will create a simple self-watering planter using hydrogel materials and vegetable scraps. The hydrogels absorb moisture from the air and slowly release it to plant roots, modeling how future technologies could support food growth in water-limited environments.
Together, we’ll consider what it means to unbind water and food systems from old constraints, and how chemistry can contribute to resilient, hope-filled solutions.
Come ready to experiment, imagine, and grow something new from what was once discarded. |
