The Junior Chemical Engineering classes introduce our youngest engineers to fundamental concepts of solids, liquids, and solutions. Students investigate the properties of several crazy concoctions and make their own
samples of bubbles, play dough, slime, and more.
4-week class
Saturday, October 6, 13, 20 and 27, 2018
Cost:
Community League Members (any league): $80
Non-members: $100
12 participants max (6 minimum to run the class)
Please register below.
Program details:
Bubble Bliss– Students will explore properties of a liquid during this
Bouncing Bubbles lesson. They will experiment concocting two different
bubble solutions to determine which one produces stronger bubbles.
Foaming Fun – Foam can have properties of both a liquid and solid. During
this lesson, students will create and investigate different solutions of
foam and analyze their properties. Prepare to make a mess!
Secret Inkers – Chemical reactions are cool, but when you have certain
chemical reactions you can create some really mysterious designs. In this
class, students explore how acids and bases react and use what they’ve
learned to write their own secret messages.
Presto-Chango Dough – Students will have the opportunity to make their own
play dough using simple household materials. Students will learn how
different materials react chemically and how they can change the physical
properties of their Presto-Chango Dough!
Playful Polymers – In this activity, students will be able to manipulate
the material properties of glue. By combing glue with different solutions,
students can explore the processes needed to create new materials. Can students
turn glue into Play-Doh, slime, or bouncy balls?
Ice Cream Factory – During this activity students will explore the freezing
processes of ice cream. After their first batch, students will manipulate
the process to see if they can reduce freezing time. Students will have
multiple chances to improve the properties of the ice cream.

Engineering for Kids: Robotics 101 (7-14)
2018-10-06 08:30 - 10:00 | Knottwood Community Hall, 445 Knottwood Rd, Edmonton, AB, T6K 3N1, Canada
Robotics 101 program is designed to introduce students to both robot building as well as programming. The students will build robots to accomplish a specific task while using their imagination to make their robot better than the basic robot. During the class, students will discover the Engineering Design Process in a real-world setting as they test their
robots multiple times.
4-week class
Saturday, October 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th
Robotics 101 – $110 for members (any league), $130 for non-members
– 14 participants max (6 required to run the class)
Please register below.
Program Details:
Robot Intelligence–During the first lesson students will build their
robots. Students will also discover that robots have to be programmed and a
robot does not work as soon as it is built.
Arm Flexing–By the time students have reached the Arm Flexing lesson,
they have a solid understanding of the mechanics of both the programming
and build of the robots. Students will be challenged to program their robot
to drive to a ping-pong ball and hit the ball with an arm. The students
will be competing against one another to get the ping-pong ball the
furthest.
Line Follow–The Line Following lesson will introduce students to a new
light sensor and build upon what they learned in Bouncing Off the Walls.
With the light sensor, their robot will be able to differentiate between
light and dark and navigate its way around a track.
Sumobots–The students will be challenged with building battle robots to
push the opponent’s robot outside of the Sumo Ring. Students will need to
use what they learned from prior lessons to make a robot that is very
stable, utilizes sensors, and maybe even an arm for flipping

Introduction to Community Walking
2018-10-13 04:00 - 09:00 | Alberta
The Community League Walking Program offers a convenient, low risk, and affordable form of physical activity for community league members in their neighbourhoods. To grow regular and urban pole walking programs across the city, the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues (EFCL) is offering leadership training for members interested in starting or assisting with a program in their community.
Community league members registered in this training session will become certified Urban Poling instructors for their community and learn about topics such as urban pole technique, risk management, and route planning. Members will be provided a program manual and resource guide developed by the EFCL, intended to help leaders plan, deliver, evaluate, and sustain a program in their communities.
Please note that you must be a current community league member to register. Spots will be prioritized for community league members who plan to lead a walking program in their community. Community league members who simply want to learn more about the walking program will only be able to attend if the session is not filled. To read more about the program, please visit the EFCL website.

Yoga with Santha
2018-10-16 12:30 - 13:30 | Knottwood Community Hall, 445 Knottwood Rd, Edmonton, AB, T6K 3N1, Canada
This one-hour yoga will be practised slowly and more actively to assist with the reduction of stress and improve body stability. Sitting in a chair for extended periods of time causes tight hips, which might also impact our knees and hamstrings. Yoga helps us to work on simple dynamic movements that can be practised often to release the stress on the lower spine and minimize the knee pains, groin pains, etc. Yoga helps improve blood circulation which can increase energy and reduce fatigue.
Details:
8 weeks
Tuesdays from 6:30-7:30pm
October 16th-December 4th
Cost:
Community League Members: $80
Non-members: $110

Online registration is required and is available below.

What others say about yoga classes with Corinne:
“Yoga classes with Corinne changed my life! They helped to gradually increase my physical strength and to become more emotionally-centred – they showed me how to use breathing to reduce anxiety! Corinne’s classes are relaxed but professional. I have two artificial hips and she made sure that no execises put me in any danger and if there was something that was uncomfortable for me to do, she found an alternate exercise that was comfortable. Corinne is a person who is totally at ease teaching a class no matter the age group; she is relatable on all levels and very laid-back. Her classes are your real sense of belonging to something special. She keeps it just personal enough so that everybody related to each other in a fun and positive way! In my opinion, anybody would benefit from taking a class with Corinne.” – Agnes
“I have practiced yoga for 15 years, the last three under Corinne’s guidance. Her classes are welcoming, relaxing and often humorous as Corinne offers yoga antidotes, gentle adjustments and support. In addition to settling cranky hips, back and neck. I love the social side of her classes which benefits both body and soul.” – Cathy
“Corinne has been a constant nurturing presense in my yoga journey of the past seven years. Her compassion and loving-kindness creates a safe, accepting space for her student to bring their joys and their pain to the mat. Her classes are simulataneously challenging and incredibly supportive; when I leave, I feel reconnected with the peace and strength within myself.” – Frieda

Register your garage sale and we will help advertise it. Your sale information will be included in our garage sale map and will be promoted at local events, via our e-mail newsletters, Facebook pages and websites.
You prepare your items for sale, and then be prepared for customers. You can participate with whatever times work best for you.

Plan a neighbourhood social this summer!
2019-05-21 08:00 - 2019-08-15 17:00 | Alberta
Get to know your neighbours this summer!
We invite you to “get neighbourly” this summer and plan a social event for your block or crescent.
Neighbourhood socials are fun and an excellent way to make new friends, catch up on the neighbourhood news, etc. They can be as simple as a neighbourhood BBQ, potluck, fire pit gathering, lawn party, yard sale, Canada Day celebration, neighbourhood walking tour, soccer game, or plan a neighbourhood project like helping a family in need or a neighbour with mobility issues clean their yard.
Every social event will win City of Edmonton attraction passes. All you have to do is snap a photo of your event and send it to us between May 21 and August 15. Your pictures will be posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages and/or in our newsletter. You can draw a name at your neighbourhood social to determine who gets the passes or give them to the organizer of the event. It’s up to you!
To take part, email us a picture of your event, along with the address to volunteer@knottwoodcommunity.ca.
Use your imagination, have fun, share your event!

This October, we are bringing back the very popular Lego Workshop for Kids! Participants will use LEGO® bricks as a CREATIVE MEDIUM to bring their ideas to life.
During the workshop, Lego Mentors will lead the kids through games and activities — all using Lego! There will be challenges, teamwork, fun “homework”, plus prizes and a lot of fun.
This workshop can help engage, motivate and support the “Builders of Today” in hopes to empower them as they build their way towards a creative future.
No experience necessary. Open for kids from 6 to 14. The program is unparented, so children must feel comfortable being left on their own.
