Kaktovik numerals

A traditional “base 20” Inupiaq counting system is reborn using a set of unique numerals crafted decades ago by Kaktovik youth to keep traditions alive. In this Denełchin Lab activity, students design and make a clock using design thinking, laser-cutting technology, and resin to produce a modern tool inspired by ancient ways.

Recycling at Denełchin Lab

Don’t let your plastic end up in a landfill—bring it to CITC’s Denełchin Fab Lab! You can support our recycling project by bringing your washed #2 and #5 plastics to our facility at 7710 Grass Creek Rd (same building as Krispy Kreme) Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Examples of items we will take include milk jugs, shampoo and detergent bottles, yogurt cups, bottle caps and more. Plastic that is dirty or is the wrong type can contaminate a batch of recycling and be harmful to the equipment or its operators. Please be mindful by cleaning out all residue and checking the recycling code before donating.
Wondering what we do with all that plastic? Our Recycling team upcycles plastics into incredible creations, like these stylish fish earrings, geometric tiles, eco-friendly plastic lumber, and more.
