We are extremely honored to partner with Connecticut State Libraries and bring GIANT creative STEM experiences to the Connecticut community at the Bristol Public Library. We planned an epic Creative DNA-themed family workshop with Bristol Public Library’s team. With their recommendation, we chose the book The Secret Code Inside You: All About Your DNA by Rajani LaRocca to “spark” kids’ ideas at the start of the workshop. More than 30 participants joined, dreamed, created, and shared on that day. Here, we have “remixed” their creations into a one-of-a-kind game set, Storytelling Genes.
Download the printable e-book and deck of cards, and then come up with the most epic stories. Let’s play!
