Creativity and Community

DC Volunteers spent hours creating the elephant at Chalk Walk.

The event is organized by both Design Collaborative and Science Central, and is held at the museum. About a dozen DC volunteers helped with the event in various roles, including registration, Chicken Suit wearer, and the bravest volunteers were stationed on the roof. Participants create a contraption to safely cradle an egg as it’s thrown from the top of the building to the ground below into a “frying pan.” Each participant is given a minute to discuss their contraption before it goes over the roof. After, awards are given to participants in a variety of categories, including most creative, most devastating drop, and Director’s Choice, which includes a one-year membership to Science Central.

We love these events because they not only give us a chance to be creative, but they allow us to engage with our community. Get out there and enjoy your city!
