Event Actions

Please help us create a magical experience for the children in the Early Learning Center, by helping us fill the Quad with reflective materials/sculptures for the children to find with their flashlights!

2 Opportunities for Service Hours

  1. Create hanging sculptures that would reflect light from a flashlight 

    • Sculptures need to be dropped off at the ELC no later than December 5

    • If you’d like to create sculptures with your found materials, you can join us on November 30 from 6:30pm-8:30pm to create sculptures with your found materials (glue guns, wire, etc will be provided).

    • RSVP to elcobservations@adelphi.edu

  2. Hang Sculptures on December 8 from 3:00pm – 4:00pm. Meet at the Quad.

Parameters for Reflective Hanging Sculptures

In keeping with Adelphi University’s Green Initiatives, we are looking for students to use found and repurposed materials. 

  • The sculptures should be able to catch and reflect back the light from children’s flashlights.
  • Be lightweight (approximate size 2-4 ft) and able to be hung from a branch with string.
  • Abstract and/or geometric in design with materials securely attached.
  • Consider designs that a breeze could create movement or sounds.
  • Lightweight and able to be hung from trees/bushes with string.
  • Some ideas for found and reused/repurposed materials that can be transformed are:
  • Pie tins, old CDs/DVDs, cellophane, mylar paper, metallic gift bags, shiny boxes, metallic ribbon, and used glow-in-the-dark stars. PLEASE NO GLITTER
