July 27 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Austin Gardens Environmental Education Center Main Room
167 Forest Avenue, Oak Park IL 60302

What lies beneath the ocean? Marie Tharp wanted to find out! She set out to map the bottom of Atlantic – something no one had ever done before. Join us as we make our own maps, explore the ocean, and learn her story.

 

In the US, women are 48% of the workforce but only 27% of the STEM careers. This family-friendly program explores a different science-loving lady each session through story, art, and more!

 

Registration is for one child with an adult. Adult must stay for the duration — this is not a drop-off program.
