Robots and More
On the Project Most lineup of activities this weekend is a Cubelets Robotics challenge on Saturday from 11 a.m. to noon. Children 5 to 12 can design and build their own robots using block-like units that “sense, think, and act” when arranged in certain ways. The cost is $25.
Another kids’ activity on Saturday, this time from 1 to 2 p.m., allows them to play with their food — for educational purposes, of course. Again for kids 5 to 12, the challenge is to “engineer” a structure using healthful foods as the building blocks, then “demolish” them by snacking on them! The recipe is free of nuts but may include other allergens. The registration fee is $25.
Other Project Most activities include early-learning play groups, Ninja Action Academy, tumbling, tutoring, and more, for which details and sign-up links can be found at projectmost.org.
Race, Taste, and Paint
For middle school students, the East Hampton Library has a Mario Kart tournament coming up tomorrow from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Snacks will be served and a winner will get a $25 Amazon gift card as a prize.
For high schoolers on Tuesday, there will be a taste-testing challenge in which participants will sample and rate snacks from Italy. The fun runs from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
The library will convene high school students on Wednesday from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in celebration of World Kindness Day. The project will be rock painting to create messages that brighten someone’s day.
Next Thursday, a therapy dog will be in attendance for teens who want to unwind with a friendly companion from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. And for children 3 to 6 that day, an autumn-theme craft project — foil-printed tree art — will happen from 4 to 5 p.m.
