*Saturday Extra* Clever Octopus is a creative reuse center based on the Wasatch Front. But, it’s also much more than that. The nonprofit aims to foster creativity and environmental awareness not only through art, but through science, technology, engineering and math. Instead of sending materials to landfills, Clever Octopus reclaims and reuses odd and unique items, helping to foster creative exploration for artists, teachers, and the generally curious. We spoke with co-founder Jen Lopez and outreach coordinator Kacy Huston about seeing materials and objects around us in a new light.
