Making Things & Making Things Happen

Missed last week because I was so busy at camp. The first week of the summer is Girl’s Invention Week and instead of the usual 7ish:1 ratio of boys to girls, we had forty awesome lady campers. We built a loom and an interactive mosaic from scrap wood, made soda using dry ice, programmed lots of video games with Scratch, went geocaching, had a thoughtful group conversation about gender identity and gender essentialism, and baked some delicious marshmallow bread. It was fabulous.

I’ll be at camp for another few weeks, so there may be some more dispatches. I will leave you with one of my favorite camp videos, from back in the spring:
