Thursday, June 26th

1:00–2:00PM ET

12pm CT / 11am MT / 10am PT / 7am HT / 19h CET

Level up STEAM learning by combining for complexity!

We’ve been playing with math (and all our crafting supplies in the office), and started experimenting with tessellations as a form of Beautiful Symmetry. Join us to advance symmetry explorations by combining simple stamp-making techniques with visual pattern-making.

This workshop comes with physical 🐌 snail mail 💌, so it’s limited to 16 participants in the U.S. and in international countries. Registration closes Wed June 11th, to make sure the envelopes arrive on time for the workshop.

⚠️ Tue June 10, 2025 Update: We’re out of envelopes. You can still register and join with materials to play together!
