Learn to Play Go!
Tuesday January 7, 2025 8:30am - 9:45am PST
Go (also known as Weiqi, Baduk and Igo) is an ancient Chinese strategy board game that has been around for at least 2000 years. It's often considered the oldest strategy game on the planet that's still being played in its original form (although Chess has also existed for thousands of years, the rules have changed over time).

Once upon a time, it was considered one of the four essential arts of a Chinese scholar and although it's not very well known in the Western world, it is still widely played in China, Japan and Korea today, with major tournaments often being broadcast on the news and online.

Go players often joke that you can learn the game in a few minutes but it may take you the rest of your life to master. Come to this class if you like deep strategy games and puzzles! I'd love to help you start on your Go journey!

Time To Save Santa (An Everyday Heroes TTPG)
Tuesday January 7, 2025 8:30am - 2:40pm PST
In Lumps of Coal, the heroes are an elite organization called to the North Pole by Mrs. Claus for an emergency mission of utmost importance to Christmas as a whole. The Krampus, one of Santa’s longest-standing “Naughties,” and his cronies have invaded one of Santa’s prized toy workshops and taken Santa hostage! Mrs. Claus needs the heroes to suit up, fill themselves with holiday spirit, take back the workshop, and save Santa. Krampus (and Jack Frost, the Grand Pumpkin, Todd, etc.) frequently enact schemes to weaken the merry might of Christmas, but these schemes are rarely as brazen as this one. There is no telling exactly what Krampus was thinking when he and his band of Naughty Listers emerged from their black-wrapped coal sack and laid fast siege to the workshop, but they were remarkably successful—and now it is up to Santa’s HELPERS to rectify this situation and make sure that the world can have a joyous Christmas this year!

Pattern Block Puzzles
Tuesday January 7, 2025 12:05pm - 1:20pm PST
If you are given an outline of a hexagon, can you use pattern block rhombi to completely fill the inside of the hexagon without going over the edge? In this activity, we'll explore whether or not this is possible for a variety of hexagons of different shapes and sizes, and we'll try to use what we find to see if we can come up with strategies for predicting when this will be possible and when it will be impossible.
