Make your own Birdfeeder Workshop

We know different birds eat different foods, but now we have to get it to them! Join us in making birdfeeders designed for a variety of songbird cuisine, and take them home for your own garden, porch, or balcony.

All materials provided, and everyone leaves with at least one birdfeeder!

Girls in STEM: Marie Tharp Maps the Ocean

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.
