Workshops consist of hands-on arts, crafts and maker activities taught live and online by passionate Instructors from around the world! Workshops allow a maximum of six participants at a time, so Learners and Instructors can engage, create, build, and connect in a truly meaningful way. The virtual workshop rooms are secure; only enrolled Learners will be able to join.
What kinds of Workshops are offered?
Workshops are hands-on, and involve making or doing something fun and constructive. Choose from a broad range of Workshops, with Instructors from across the globe in jewelry making, creating a journal, mask making, instrument making, and folklore crafts. New workshops are added regularly, so keep an eye out for the latest!
As an adult, will I enjoy the Workshops?
As long as you bring curiosity and a willingness to create to the workshop, the answer is a resounding “yes”! Workshops are designed to be engaging and interactive as you make a creation together.
Can my kids join me during the Workshop?
You can have up to 2 learners per screen so your child is welcome to join your screen during the workshop. Kids love our workshops because they get to make or do something new and exciting while connecting with others through a shared experience. Just don’t forget to be an active learner yourself!
Can I have more than 2 people per screen in a Workshop?
The Amazeum and GLOMADO want the Workshop experience to be a positive one for every person involved. Part of this experience is the small class size. Each screen should have no more than 2 Learners for the Instructor to be interacting with.
How will I get the supplies needed for the maker activity?
Workshops that include a GLOkit will list that information in the Workshop details. The GLOkit will include most of the required supplies. The Learner may be asked to collect some everyday household items prior to a Workshop as well. Required materials will be listed on the Workshop details page, and are available to view prior to your scheduled Workshop. Not all Workshops include a GLOkit.
How long will the GLOkit take to arrive in the mail?
A GLOkit will usually arrive within 2-3 days from the purchase of a Workshop. You will have the option of expedited shipping for an additional cost.
How should I approach this workshop so I can maximize my professional learning?
Be an active learner! Come to the workshop with an open mind and ready to ask questions. As you fully engage with the instructor and maker activity, take note of how it feels to move through the experience, what support you need from the instructor at various points, and what skills and/or content you are discovering. The workshop is full of opportunities to learn about cultures as well as making. We hope you are inspired by the experience to implement a similar maker experience with your students.
How can I implement this maker activity into my classroom?
There are lots of ways to incorporate the maker experience into your classroom so that your students can also experience hands-on learning. The Amazeum has resources and team members available to assist you in implementing activities. The Amazeum will contact you after your workshop to provide support.
How will I receive professional development credit for participating in a workshop?
The Amazeum will send you a certificate of completion a couple weeks after the workshop is completed. Please check your email (and spam folder) for the certificate. If you don’t receive a certificate, please contact the Amazeum directly.
What if my Instructor does not show up to teach the Workshop?
All Instructors prioritize their scheduled Workshops, but in the rare event that an Instructor is unable to attend you will automatically receive a gift card for the cost of the Workshop plus an additional 20%. You can use the promo code and the gift card to schedule any future Workshops.
Each Instructor has gone through a significant vetting process before working under the GLOMADO brand name.
Will my information be shared with others?
All personal information entered remains fully secure and will not be shared with outside companies.
Why are Workshops recorded?
GLOMADO records all Workshops for internal use only. Video recordings will never be shared with any 3rd party. They are for the purposes of safety and quality control.
What if I am unable to complete the craft in the Workshop’s allotted time?
You will have the opportunity to finish your craft after the Workshop. If you need further instruction, you will be able to watch an instructor-only recorded video with instructions.
Do GLOMADO gift cards ever expire?
The gift cards never expire and can be used in the future.
My professional development funds are limited. Is financial assistance available?
Yes! The Amazeum has funding through a generous grant to offer scholarships for teachers who need financial assistance. Please contact the Director of Education at mporter@amazeum.org for details.
What happens if I am unable to attend a Workshop I have registered for?
Due to the nature of our Workshops, we are unable to issue refunds as the Instructor is already booked for that day/time slot which prevents other Learners from being able to join at that time. Please note that GLOMADO Instructors are paid for all booked Workshops.
Am I able to leave a rating or review of my Workshop?
After every Workshop, each Learner has the opportunity to rate the Instructor and give helpful feedback.
