3D Maze is a challenging test of your spatial relations IQ, and is far more bewildering than you expect. Be forewarned: only about one in three people ever finish this fiendishly difficult challenge! To generate the levels for the game, the creator used a technique called "evolutionary computation" (http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_computing), a sub-category of artificial intelligence based on Darwin's Theory of Evolution. This unique 3D Maze is open throughout the week and is changed every Sunday night, with new courses and fun and engaging themes! Persevere and exercise your short-term memory as you race up, down and all around. Can you beat the best time? Prize for finishing the maze. See video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt2jimM2NHk

Join us for Death Cafe.
These days, with the reality of Death so obvious in our lives, we need to talk about it all the more.

Come talk, share, and maybe even laugh.
When: 2nd and 4th Friday at 2pm SLT

Facilitated by Cattie Rosca
Cattie Rosca has been in SL since 2007 and is a trained death Doula. Doulas hold space with those who are dying and those who love them. They also help create Legacy Projects, plan Vigil at the time of death, and Memory Events. Doulas ease navigating the waters of Death, Grief, and Beyond.
