W16506: Cardboard Armory in Spark 2026 (Mar. 14 - 15, 2026)

Build swords (and/or other implements) out of cardboard!

X16509: Buffs and Nerfs in Spark 2026 (Mar. 14 - 15, 2026)

Never bring a sword to a gun fight, unless it is a foam sword against a nerf gun, in which case you would probably win. Help me balance all these weapons against each other. Trial by combat... for SCIENCE!?

B16291: The Language of the Omegans in Splash Fall 2025 (Nov. 22 - 23, 2025)

Discover the language of the Omegans, an alien species that found Voyager I and thus have had their language and culture influenced by Americans. Definitely not an outdated meme in disguise.

E16293: Build Big Cardboard Structures in Splash Fall 2025 (Nov. 22 - 23, 2025)

Have you ever wanted to build a giant carton of milk? I've done that before, and I'll show you how. Ever wanted to build a different sort of cardboard structure? Go ahead! I'll show you how.
