Outdoor Jamboree – Please bring anything your kiddo(s) like to use on pavement. The plan is to close off the top parking lot with a line of cars + make obstacle courses out of our giant space. We also have gymnastics equipment to share (Thanks, Erin!) + I will bring sidewalk chalk. The kids can use 3-wheels, scooters, skateboards, bikes – whatever they like. If you can fit it into your car, you can bring it!

M – September 15: Gross Science
Today we’ll be collecting germs in an agar solution that we can prep, infect, label + watch grow visible colonies over a matter of weeks. Be prepared to also mix up a batch of fake vomit or mucus as well. If you have extra petri dishes at home, we’d love to borrow them for a few weeks!
M – April 14: Rudolpho “Corky” Gonzales Library
Meet us at 11am at Paco Sanchez Park (1290 Knox Court, 3240 W 14th Ave, Denver, CO 80204) to play outside. If you’d prefer to be indoors, Leah has reserved the meeting room at Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales Library (1498 N. Irving Street 80204) starting at 11am. It’s a quarter-mile walk away from the playground + probably easier to park at one place, given the lack of parking around Paco Sanchez at different times of day.
M – April 7: Arvada Library
Meet us at 11am at McIlvoy Park (5750 Upham St, Arvada, CO 80002) in old town Arvada to play outside. If you’d prefer to be indoors, Ashley has reserved the meeting room at Arvada Library (7525 W 57th Ave, Arvada, CO 80002) starting at 11am. It’s two blocks away from the playground + there’s a free parking lot between the playground + the library, if that helps anyone.

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.
