Other:Nature Play Pop-Ups
2024-10-02 16:00 - 17:30 (America/Detroit) | Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Based in Gaffield Children’s Garden at Matthaei Botanical Gardens, Nature Play Pop-ups are opportunities for children across ages and developmental stages to engage deeply, based on their own interests, curiosity, and developmental stages. For example, while some older children may be using our collections of natural loose parts to intently create a specific habitat, other children will be engaging in developmentally appropriate play of taking all the petals off the flowers in our loose parts collections. While some children will tenaciously experiment to create the largest bubbles, other children will be nearby splashing in the slippery solution. All ways of playing are good & welcome Nature Play! Come play outside with us!

Workshop / Seminar:Quasi-isometry types of graphs of arcs and curves
2024-10-02 16:00 - 17:30 | East Hall - 3866
We introduce various graphs whose vertices correspond to (possibly marked) arc and curve systems on a compact surface, and their applications in the study of finite-type surface mapping class groups. Examples will include: the curve graph, the arc graph, the pants graph, and the marking graph. We will discuss the quasi-isometry types of such graphs, and a theorem classifying their (equivariant) quasi-isometry types by the set of subsurfaces intersecting every vertex. If time permits, we will also describe their hierarchically hyperbolic structure.
