Chess and Math Games Play Day

Looking forward to seeing you all again! We fill our space with math puzzles, chess, and other games for kids to explore. It's just an informal meeting for families in the community to get together. The event is open to everyone. Shy kids, loud kids, kids with learning differences--all are welcome. Drop any time 3:00-5:00pm, and explore whatever interests you. Though we aim to end at 5:00, we're happy to stay longer and allow games and projects in progress to finish. Per meetup.com policy, parents are required to accompany their kids.
