INTRODUCTION Something super weird (and oh, so wonderful!) is happening in this game book! Our characters are getting mixed and remixed into a deck of collectible trading cards that you can play all sorts of games with! We are extremely honored to partner with Connecticut State Libraries and bring GIANT creative STEM experiences to the Connecticut community at the Granby Public Library. We implemented a Remix Station with Granby Public Library’s team, Michele Kaminski and Amber Wyzik. More than 40 participants joined, dreamed, created, and shared. Here, we have “remixed” their creations into a one-of-a-kind game set inviting all kids (and adults) to collect the trading cards and get slapping, improvising, drawing, storytelling, fishing, and searching! I want to thank the librarians and staff from Granby Public Library for their partnership. Funding for this program was made possible by the Connecticut State Library and Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), provided through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Let’s play! Azi Jamalian Founder of The GIANT Room 3

The city gives each apartment special bins for different kinds of trash. The bins can tell if something is in the wrong place. If people do not recycle correctly, they get an extra rent fee.
