Last modified 7/30/2026

Scaffold just held its first event!

“Turn and Talk” reflects our vision of Scaffold as a platform that transcends digital space. Our participants interacted with Scaffold for 20 minutes, and afterward shared their interactions (process and insights) with others.

Thank you to Sam for moderating our intro panel!!!

And thank you to Pic Up Stix for hosting us and serving us such yummy food!!!

Turn and Talk attendees gathered around a wooden table at Pic Up Stix, smiling for a group photo. Name tags, notecards and a laptop are spread across the table.

A laminated menu for the event, headed Scaffold x Pic Up Stix, Turn & Talk — Menu, July 30, 2026, listing a veggie roll with lo mein or fried rice.

Two attendees sitting across a small table by the window, looking down at a menu together and laughing. Handwritten name cards sit on the table between them.

An overhead view of four attendees talking around a long table, with the event menu propped up and handwritten name cards in front of each seat.

Two of the Scaffold team seated at a table, smiling at the camera, with a laptop, an iced drink and a plate holding a veggie roll in front of them.

The intro panel underway — three people seated at the front of the restaurant in conversation, with name cards reading Sam, Brendan and Hillary on the table, and bowls of lo mein in the foreground.

A hand-drawn sticky note left by an attendee: two stick figures holding up a large boulder labelled “the future of critical thinking skills.”

A closing group selfie with everyone who came to Turn and Talk crowded into frame around the tables.
