Too often\, traditional self-improvement methods overlook the diversity of how our brains work—focusing on rigid routines and one-size-fits-all solutions that lead to burnout rather than balance. \nDrawing inspiration from martial arts philosophy and the principles of neurodiversity\, Randori Life helps individuals stop fighting themselves and start working with their own minds. Its approach shifts the focus from a “have to” mentality to a “want to” mindset\, offering practical training rooted in awareness\, discipline\, and purpose. Rather than prescribing quick fixes\, Randori Life teaches both what to do and why—empowering people to move through life with clarity\, confidence\, and self-compassion. https://randorilife.com/ \n\nProgram schedule\n\n8:45 to 9:00 – Coffee & Conversation\n9:00 to 9:45 – Official Program\n9:45 to 10:00 – Q&A\n\nIf you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this event\, please contact Event Coordinator Jan@newbo.co .

Seed bombs are spherical objects made of dirt and seeds that can be thrown onto land to grow vegetation.

Activities include Scratch Block Programming\, which allows you to easily build stories and games using “blocks” of code. You can also play Codecombat\, an innovative live coding strategy game for beginners. Learn Python or JavaScript as you defeat ogres\, solve mazes\, and level up.\nTuring Tumble: a logic puzzle where students work to solve problems using levers and marbles. It helps kids understand computer science concepts without computers! Create your own designs or work through the ‘challenge’ booklet for a little more structure to the play\nSnap Circuits: Learn basic engineering\, electronics\, and circuitry concepts using Snap Circuits! Snap Circuits use easy-to-connect components to assemble electronic circuits on a simple “rows-and-columns” base grid that you build functions like the printed circuit boards in most electronic products.\nMicroscopes: Kids can explore biology up close with a self-guided microscope with over 200 slides.\nDrones: Kids can maneuver drones (with adult supervision) around obstacle courses.\n\n  \nIf you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this event\, please contact Community Programs Manager Melissa Silver at 319-214-5646 or melissa@newbo.co.
