On September 22, all ages are invited to another family-friendly Indigenous Science Night at Spark that centres on the craft and science of braiding, and braiding as a teaching method of inclusivity, interweaving of ways of knowing and the strength found in community.

- Join Elders and Knowledge Keepers to learn and hear stories about braiding and its cultural significance, from hair to sweetgrass, to rope and more.
- Learn the basics of Métis finger weaving techniques and start your own woven bracelet.
- Enjoy a rope making demonstration from a Blackfoot craftsman.
- Hear the unique sounds of Métis fiddle music to get the community in a dancing mood!
- Try a taco in a bag from the Spark Eatery!
- Jump into family-friendly activities like the Human Knot Challenge and a Hair Braiding Station with fun clip-in colours.
