July 7th – July 12

For Students Entering Grades 6-12 in Fall 2025

10AM-4PM (Monday-Saturday).

Participants build their own pinhole cameras, learn how to evaluate lighting and exposure time, explore ideas of visual composition, i.e., what makes a “good photo,” and learn how to use the chemistry of a black & white photographic darkroom on site to develop their own photographs.

In contrast to remote-learning, online simulations, digital, and virtual experiences, this will be a hands-on analog experience.

The Georgetown Steam Plant visually inspires students with its photogenic, industrial-age architecture and design which truly represent the original “Steam-Punk,” all in support of education, art, and science learning. Students will explore the Georgetown Steam Plant as a scientific, technologic, historic, and creative space.

Instructors: Eric Muhs & Dan Pickard are “mostly-retired” Seattle Public

Schools science teachers with nearly 50 years of science teaching and pinhole photography instruction between them. Cost and further details at the website link below. Them
