Because today’s a holiday, the libraries are all closed. We’ll be meeting at Johnson Habitat Park for a few hours to play together. Let’s aim at 11am, so it’s going to be as warm as it gets. This park is along the South Platte River + has cool playground equipment, picnic areas + porta-potties.

The Denver Foundation Awarded Us a Grant!
Wildling Collective was awarded a small grant toward our (eventual) creation of a technology room – and told to please resubmit earlier in the year when more funding is available (noted) – by The Denver Foundation.
M – December 9: Engineering + Lego
It’s LEGO day! We’re going to set up a few, timed challenges – tallest tower, sturdiest bridge, longest build, etc – and get started working with bricks that way. From there, we can add a more specific challenge, if people are interested, or else it devolves into a building free for all. Let’s see whether we can’t build a whole town over the course of the day.
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 18: Sew Free
We’re sewing + dyeing fabric with vegetable peels. I’ll bring some fabric scraps + my sewing box, but we’ll need more contributions of fabric, felt, thread, + needles.
M – November 11: Vintage Kitchen Science
We’re cooking quirky recipes from generations past. Today’s dish: Tomato Soup Cupcakes, made with canned tomato soup. Yum…. Let’s also do blind tastings behind a veil of absolute secrecy!
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.
