March Break Workshops for Kids!

Food and Philosophy Fun for March Break!
Don't Let Good Ideas Go To Waste!

Calling all thinkers aged 8-18! Join us for a Think-A-Thon on Tuesday, March 16 at 87 Up in Georgetown (87 Main St. South).

Thinkers aged 8-12 will be discussing the wonders of robots (and their human friends) from 1:30-3:30 pm. Thinkers aged 13-18 will take a look at the wonders of modern media (yes, even the infamous Facebook and Twitter) from 3:30-5 pm. For those interested in tempting their taste buds as well as their minds, there will also be a variety of fantastic cooking workshops offered during the week.

Think-A-Thon workshops are $10 per thinker, per topic (prices vary for cooking classes). Register by calling Foodstuffs at (905) 877-6569. For more information, see the attached brochure, or call Amy Leask at (905) 864-1858 x2 (email amy@enabletc.com).

Study of Human Nature Starts Really Early

It seems that, along with applesauce and squeak toys, the diaper-set are also into interpreting people's intentions. This article in the Toronto Star discusses our ability to weed out "jerks", and how it develops much sooner than we thought. Psychologist Erik Erikson once theorized that although children have a different framework for logic, they do indeed have it. I wonder if the same is true for morality...

Enjoy!
