The Charm Bracelet Project

An upcoming talk prompts me to collect some information:

"Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh is sponsoring The Charm Bracelet Project, an international ideas program that seeks to build upon the strength of Pittsburgh’s North Side amenities by improving connections among them, encouraging creative projects and enhancing family experiences."

This is the talk (material copied from the Children's Museum site):

I was out of town for the first lecture, but from what I have heard, it was amazing.
