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.

In this episode of Art and Science Punks Kate and Rob talk about what encouragement looks like to us, parts of encouragement, how it might be just the right thing to share with someone or feel like unwelcome pressure.

Kate and Rob also share an art pick and a science pick this week: one is racing marbles; the other about growing crystals in a way they've not encountered before.
