Knot Your Expectations

When

Saturday, Sept 16 | 11am-7pm

Where

Contemporary Calgary
701 11 St SW
Calgary, AB

Knots tie us together, bridge low tech and high tech, and connect us with our past. Join enthusiastic youth and volunteers from local Scouts Canada groups to get tangled in the art of knots.

Lots of knots apply to:

  • outdoor adventures like climbing and sailing
  • intracellular adventures like DNA supercoiling
  • outer space adventures like wiring a spacecraft for extreme conditions, and
  • inner space adventures, persevering and doing  your best when learning new skills.

Be prepared to tie knots with slime, dip rope in liquid nitrogen, supercoil string and more.
