LA-based storyteller Adam Mellema brings the theme to life through hilarious tales from his own childhood\, along with beloved stories like Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears by Verna Aardema and a fresh\, playful take on The Boy Who Cried Wolf. The fun ramps up with plenty of audience participation\, as volunteers are invited onstage to test out Adam’s “lie detector machine” and tackle tricky (and funny) hypothetical situations. \nWith nonstop movement\, character voices\, and big energy\, Mellema prances\, dances\, and acts out every role in this fast-paced performance for all ages. Best of all\, some of the stories featured are books you can check out from the library and take home the very same day. \nThis event is free to attend thanks to the support of the City of Coronado and the Friends of the Coronado Public Library. Seating is first come\, first seated. \n\nHe dances… He sings… He’s got the energy of ten cheetahs! Adam plays all the characters in his stories: every man\, woman\, child\, and paperweight. Mellema has performed all over the world including China\, South Africa\, Chile\, and Mexico. Adam moonlights as an Emmy Award-winning Children’s Television Producer for companies including Disney Channel and Mattel. He is currently Head of Content for Yippee TV\, a streaming service for kids where he has overseen the creation of 55 original series. Mellema co-created the campy action figure hit\, Playtime\, and Backseat Drivers\, the world’s first car show for kids. His preschool series\, Maggie’s Market\, is in its fourth season. In his “spare time\,” Adam serves on several boards for local arts organizations\, visits old places\, and dreams of learning to play the zither.

Participants step into the role of nature detectives as they observe birds\, analyze feathers and tracks\, collect data\, and use scientific tools to draw evidence-based conclusions. \nThrough guided inquiry and outdoor exploration\, students practice core STEM skills such as observation\, pattern recognition\, data recording\, and critical thinking while strengthening social-emotional skills like collaboration\, curiosity\, and perseverance. The workshop connects science learning to real careers in wildlife biology\, environmental science\, conservation\, and forensic investigation\, helping students see how STEM is used beyond the classroom. \nDesigned to be interactive\, age-appropriate\, and inclusive\, Birds & Detectives blends science\, nature\, and problem-solving to spark curiosity\, build confidence\, and inspire the next generation of STEM thinkers — one clue at a time. \nRegistration Required\, please register EACH child individually URL:https://coronadotimes.com/event/makers-monday-birds-and-detectives-with-lkw-stem-foundation/ LOCATION:Coronado Public Library\, 640 Orange Ave\, Coronado\, CA\, 92118\, United States CATEGORIES:books,craft,kids,workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260331T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260331T143000 DTSTAMP:20260615T182156 CREATED:20260307T223719Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260326T185650Z UID:253283-1774956600-1774967400@coronadotimes.com SUMMARY:Play Fairy DESCRIPTION:Play Fairy is back for some magical playtime this Spring Break.
