This week I wanted to dive into another one of our litmus tests for inclusion within the walls of Zipper Junction™. This test is where we determine if something is useful for play, for learning and for…
In order for anything to be included in the shops at Zipper Junction™, it must fulfill three components – it must create an opportunity for people to play, learn, and work. Similar to the requirement of cross-pollination-ability, every single inclusion in the outside-in town must be able to fulfill a requirement at the core, front-end, and…
There will be a lot of moving parts in The ZIPPER JUNCTION Project™, just like the gears of an engine or a bicycle.
