Create Your Dream Bike

We are so close to being done with this fine novel in our 4th-6th grade MCBA book group!

For all you bike fans out there, you model builders or sketchers, our Team MCBA offers you the chance to enter a Create Your Dream Bike contest.

Turn in a drawing or a 3D model. Add labels or captions if you want. DUE FRIDAY, JAN. 30th, but accepted on Monday.

Crazy Mutant Insects Contest

 A sci-fi book full of bugs, earthquakes, and explosions? What's not to love? The mutant ants running wild in this MCBA book inspired Bowen to create a CRAZY MUTANT INSECT contest.

Submit a drawing. If you like, name your insect, and describe its dimensions, features, or special powers!

OFFICIALLY DUE FRIDAY, JAN. 30th but if some bug stole your work and you need to make a new one and turn it in on Monday, that's okay!

Fluffy Dogs Rock!

Okay, my first dog couldn't have been LESS fluffy if she tried. But maybe you're lucky--maybe you know a golden retriever, a great pyrenees, a pomeranian, Or some fluffy mutt you don't mind showing to the rest of us!
