What can bread making, crochet, AI, and honest conversations about family life possibly have in common? That's a good question and one I hope will be answered for you at the upcoming Unplug & Play summit our free virtual family event happening August 16–22. There are four themes, or tracks if you prefer a more corporate way of thinking about things. The Culinary theme focuses on bringing families together through bread making with @Henry Hunter, Indian cooking with @Varsha Mistry, practical kitchen skills, healthier food habits with @Elliott Robertson, and conversations about the connection with @Krista Melanson that develops when we prepare and share food. In Craft & Hobby's families have the chance to explore crochet with @Auli Takala, guitar, French, and even a live family photo session with @Cristal Vancarson. It isn’t about already being good at something. It’s about discovering what you might enjoy together. Tech moves beyond passive screen time and puts digital tools to work creatively. Families can experiment with storytelling, robots, music, and AI as starting points for imagination and shared play with @Paula Artis and @Tosca Fasso. Experts, including @Nat Carey, @Celia Kibler, @Brenda Chilstrom, @Jen Staniforth, @Anna Murrietta, @Chanie Twersky, and more offer practical insight into reading, communication, secure attachment, emotional wellbeing, family relationships, and the messy reality of caring for children when life has already used most of your energy. Explore one theme or wander through all four. Attend live, choose the pre-recorded experiences that fit your schedule, or use the free replays through September 1.
