SUMMARY:Discovery Design Time
DESCRIPTION:This week’s Discovery Design Time explores the evolution of art tools in Osmo Drawing\, a Monsters in the Museum-themed session tracing creativity from early humans grinding natural pigments to today’s interactive technology. Art tools have always evolved alongside human innovation — from stone carvers and paintbrushes to cameras and digital games — and this session puts that evolution right in guests’ hands. \nGuests will use tablets paired with Osmo’s interactive drawing accessories\, following along with guided prompts on a dry-erase board as the Monster app leads them through listening and drawing tasks. With just five stations available\, guests are encouraged to team up and share the experience with siblings and friends. \nGuests will build new vocabulary like technology and auditory\, while discovering how design and digital tools come together in hands-on STEAM learning. \nDiscovery Design Time is a weekly program held every Thursday at Discovery Center at Murfree Spring — each session features a new theme and activity\, so guests can join again and again for a fresh hands-on art experience. \n📅 Date: October 29\, 2026\n🎨 Theme: Monsters in the Museum\n📍 Discovery Center at Murfree Spring\, Murfreesboro\, TN

SUMMARY:Discovery Design Time
DESCRIPTION:This week’s Discovery Design Time picks up needle and thread for Burlap Tapestry\, a Fall on the Farm-themed session exploring the age-old craft of sewing. Stitching has supported humans for generations — from mending clothes and reducing fabric waste\, to creating fine art tapestries\, to even helping doctors heal the body — and guests will get hands-on practice with the fundamentals. \nGuests will practice several embroidery techniques on burlap hoops\, including the running stitch\, stem stitch\, back stitch\, and split stitch\, building confidence with needle and yarn one stitch at a time. \nGuests will build new vocabulary like embroidery\, running stitch\, stem stitch\, back stitch\, and split stitch\, while strengthening hand-eye coordination through fiber art. \nDiscovery Design Time is a weekly program held every Thursday at Discovery Center at Murfree Spring — each session features a new theme and activity\, so guests can join again and again for a fresh hands-on art experience. \n📅 Date: November 5\, 2026\n🎨 Theme: Fall on the Farm\n📍 Discovery Center at Murfree Spring\, Murfreesboro\, TN

SUMMARY:Discovery Design Time
DESCRIPTION:This week’s Discovery Design Time celebrates the season with Scarecrow Sculpture\, a Fall on the Farm-themed session exploring the surprisingly long history of the scarecrow. These garden protectors date all the way back to ancient Egypt\, and while their look has changed over the centuries\, their job has stayed the same — guests will discover that history while building their own. \nGuests will use the design and engineering process to construct a scarecrow from a toilet paper tube body\, paper ribbon for straw-like arms and legs\, and burlap for the head\, then decorate their creation however they like. \nGuests will build new vocabulary like sculpture\, design\, structure\, and agriculture\, while exploring engineering concepts through a hands-on fall craft. \nDiscovery Design Time is a weekly program held every Thursday at Discovery Center at Murfree Spring — each session features a new theme and activity\, so guests can join again and again for a fresh hands-on art experience. \n📅 Date: November 12\, 2026\n🎨 Theme: Fall on the Farm\n📍 Discovery Center at Murfree Spring\, Murfreesboro\, TN

SUMMARY:Discovery Design Time
DESCRIPTION:This week’s Discovery Design Time celebrates culture and tradition with Decorating Dreidels\, a 25 Days of Discovery-themed session all about the classic Hanukkah game. Guests will learn how the dreidel works like a spinning die — with each of its four Hebrew letters determining whether a player takes\, gives\, or passes on the pot of gelt. \nGuests will decorate their own dreidel with paint pens\, then put it to use playing a full round of the game with gelt (coins) of their own. Along the way\, they’ll learn the meaning behind each symbol — Nun\, Shin\, Hey\, and Gimmel — and how each roll shapes the game. \nGuests will build new vocabulary like dreidel\, Shin\, Nun\, Hey\, Gimmel\, and Hanukkah\, while exploring a cultural tradition through hands-on play. \nDiscovery Design Time is a weekly program held every Thursday at Discovery Center at Murfree Spring — each session features a new theme and activity\, so guests can join again and again for a fresh hands-on art experience. \n📅 Date: December 3\, 2026\n🎨 Theme: 25 Days of Discovery\n📍 Discovery Center at Murfree Spring\, Murfreesboro\, TN

SUMMARY:Discovery Design Time
DESCRIPTION:This week’s Discovery Design Time captures a memory in Holiday Photos\, a 25 Days of Discovery-themed session exploring the technology behind modern printmaking. Guests will use a mobile zero-ink printer — a device that uses heat instead of ink to bring an image to life on special dye-embedded paper — to turn a photo into a personalized keepsake. \nGuests will have their photo printed on the spot (or choose from a prepared character design)\, then cut\, assemble\, and decorate their own ornament using a frame backing\, ribbon\, and craft supplies. The result is a one-of-a-kind holiday keepsake to take home and hang. \nGuests will build new vocabulary like printing\, assembly\, decorations\, and memory\, while discovering how technology and art come together to preserve special moments. \nDiscovery Design Time is a weekly program held every Thursday at Discovery Center at Murfree Spring — each session features a new theme and activity\, so guests can join again and again for a fresh hands-on art experience. \n📅 Date: December 10\, 2026\n🎨 Theme: 25 Days of Discovery\n📍 Discovery Center at Murfree Spring\, Murfreesboro\, TN

SUMMARY:Discovery Design Time
DESCRIPTION:This week’s Discovery Design Time layers up for Paper Mache Trees\, a 25 Days of Discovery-themed session exploring papier-mache — a craft technique believed to date back to 200 BC China\, later named for the French phrase meaning “chewed paper” after gaining popularity in Europe in the early 1700s. \nGuests will shred and paste strips of green-toned paper\, layering them around a cardboard tree form to build structure and texture. Along the way\, they’ll experiment with proportion — discovering how paper strips that are too large create unwanted folds\, while ones too small won’t hold the form together. \nGuests will build new vocabulary like structure and applique\, while exploring design principles and craft history through a festive\, hands-on build. \nDiscovery Design Time is a weekly program held every Thursday at Discovery Center at Murfree Spring — each session features a new theme and activity\, so guests can join again and again for a fresh hands-on art experience. \n📅 Date: December 17\, 2026\n🎨 Theme: 25 Days of Discovery\n📍 Discovery Center at Murfree Spring\, Murfreesboro\, TN
