M – December 2: Cookies + an Obstacle Course
Let’s start the day by setting up an obstacle course. We’ll clear a wide area for physical play + let the kids put this together. If you have any soft, gymnastic-style materials that we can use for this, please bring them. We’re especially looking for pads, floor beams, things to jump over or go around, etc.

M – November 4: Playing with Electricity!
Snap circuits + beyond, we’ll explore all the electric stem challenges we can combine! Please bring whatever you have to add. Lego SPIKE sets, electricity experiments or any type of robotics are what we’re going for today. We’ll keep the sets on several different tables, so everyone has a chance to try without combining pieces. Please be prepared to man your table + help people understand how to use/play with/explore your project/set.
