The discovery area will be for those who want to share their trackables and collections (I will bring my own coins).

INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATION SCI-FI (10:45 - briefly discuss Operation Sci-Fi and get container making area ready): Will have some information with links to Operation Sci-Fi, how to participate and set it all up for individual hides, this way you have the information needed to hide the container to create at the event.
CONTAINER CREATION STATION (starting at 10:45-11:00, some supplies will be available, you keep what you make. Clean up your station please): As part of the dumming up interest and excitement for Operation Sci-Fi on May the 4th, there will be a station where people can create their own Sci-Fi themed containers and get them ready for hiding. Some small containers, paint pens, stickers, magnets will be provided while supplies last. So get creative and have some fun, and if you hav some other container ideas, bring you goodies along and build something up.
SCI-FI CONTAINER PREVIEW (will be set up around 11:00): Along with bulding sci-fi continers, I will bring in the containers I have already prepared for hiding to show and share. Feel free to bring along your own sci-fi themed containers to share as well.
LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER (This will be up and ready by 11:00 if people want to play, will have extra dice, and Host will be ready to play by 11:15 or so!): I love games and I have some LRC dice and am ready to play. Left/Right/Center is a dice rolling game of elimination and fun. I will have some trade items to swap for the game as well, so bring your trade items and personal items to play the game, I will have extra dice as well, so we can have more than one game going, and a couple lucky players may get to leave with a set of their own dice.
