Learn To Ride
Do you or your child want to learn how to ride a bike? Join 4J, Bethel, and Springfield Safe Routes to School programs, the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, and Shift Community Cycles for this fun event with bike checks, free helmets, and information about bike share.

We'll start with balancing and gliding without pedals or training wheels. Some will learn to pedal in one session, while others may need more practice to reach that final goal. You don't need your own bike to participate, but please bring a helmet and bike if you have one. Contact Safe Routes to School at mazze_s@4j.lane.edu or albee_b@4j.lane.edu with questions or to volunteer.

SPICE Science
The UO Fall Science Open House is a showcase of all the wonderful formal and informal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) outreach available in our community. The open house features dozens of interactive, hands-on science tables, and demonstrations. The event is free and open to the public. The goal of the open house is to connect families and teachers with science education opportunities. Participation raises awareness of your group and the work you are doing, provides a pool of enthusiastic recruits for your education and research projects, and raises the profile of STEM in the community. The event is coordinated by the SPICE program. Participation is 100% free for presenters and attendees.
