Hosted by the UM Living Lab and SMART FIRES, this free community event offered hands-on science activities on the library's first floor. Elementary and middle school students explored interactive demonstrations at the spectrUM Discovery Bench to learn how smoke impacts health. Families also met with local climate and weather experts to gain practical tips on...
Citizen science is science for everyone! Specifically, citizen science is when the public voluntarily helps conduct scientific research. From sharing photos of nature to help scientists document biodiversity to browsing images on your computer to help speed up research about Alzheimer's disease, each of these acts of science is important. Join the National Girls Collaborative...
During this online workshop we will hear from partners engaging audiences of all ages in Earth and climate science through activities that take a closer look at the scientific and societal impacts of wildfires. Learn how to use activities from the NISE Network, NASA, and others to demonstrate the connection between global issues of climate...
