Welcome to
The Melanin Lounge: Your Guide


Did you know that STEAM stands for STEM + the Arts, that’s Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Maths. At the uLearn Naturally Learners’ Co-op we make ALL learning creative, related to nature and family friendly.

Come and enjoy a wonderful British Science Week 2018 programme of STEAM focused events, be illuminated in the darkness of melanin (an organic molecule whose importance is growing in the world of science).

ALL are welcome, all events are free to attend (donations gracefully accepted).

Time to lounge with intelligence:

Part 1 - Drumming the vibrations of Melanin
Part 2 - Tehwagi at OM: Masters of Elemental Transformation
Part 3 - Structures of Melanin and their related life processes
Part 4 - House of Melanin (the big lounge)

Part 1

Drumming the vibrations of Melanin


Venue: Chestnuts Community Centre, N15

Date & Time:
Monday 12th March 2018
4.15pm to 5.45pm

This event is for and about:

Children and young peoples 5 to 19 years old.
This is a drumming workshop the likes of which you’ve never experienced before! Introducing, through the drum, basic atomic chemistry ideas, core values of number as a tool of perception, binary and drumming rhythms that turn the atomic structure of Melanin (and any other molecular structure) into music expressions. WOW!

Part 2
Tehwagi at OM:
Masters of Elemental Transformation


Venue: Chestnuts Community Centre, N15

Date & Time:
Tuesday 13th March 2018
4.15pm to 5.45pm

This event is for and about:

Children and young peoples 5 to 19 years old.

As part of our Triple Darkness Space Probe project a fun game is being developed called Tehwagi at OM: Masters of Elemental Transformation. The game, which involves dice and visualised movement around molecular structures, introduces basic atomic chemistry ideas, value of number as a tool of perception, playing where physical chemistry meets the metaphysical (ancient and new stories/ideas of elemental transformation learnt through play.

Tehwagi at OM – our prototype new role playing game is ready for an open day of open play. Water Crane transform to Air Crane, Air Crane transforms to Fire Mantis, Fire Mantis transforms to Earth Mantis, Earth Mantis transforms to Water Crane… thus a cycle is complete and repeats….

Part 3
Structures of Melanin and their related life processes

- a Unifiedknowledge perspective -
Venue:
Laurels Healthy Living Centre, N15 5AZ


Date & Time:
Tuesday 13th March 2018
6.30pm to 8.30pm
This event is for and about:
Adults and mature young people. Parents, teachers and other educators.

Astehmari Batekun
, Principal Teacher at Black Open University, will guide 
attendees through a comprehensive introduction to the melanin molecule’s structure and its related life processes.

This presentation will be from an Unifiedknowledge perspective, through which we strive to be free from: 1) the misnomers of modern scientific education (popular and technically used names and terms that are in fact misleading from the currently known facts), 2) paradigms (patterns) of Eurocentric science education that are broadly known to restrict access of people of non-european heritage due to implicit or explicit cultural bias.

From these standpoints (and deeper, more important ones) we will introduce and explore basic atomic chemistry ideas, the basics of melanin production in the human being; including the function of melanocyte and the tyrosinase enzyme. The presentation will also include a summary introduction to "Drumming the vibrations of Melanin" (see Part 1) and "Tehwagi at OM"(learning through advanced role-playing games).
