Break out of the winter doldrums and let your inner scientist loose. Meet amateur and professional scientists who study and collect fossils, mushrooms, and meteorites. Talk with experts who build telescopes, track invasive species, and grow carnivorous plants. Try your hand at finding bugs or exploring sand. Craft a piece of art from polarized light. Watch a live ice sculpture demonstration in front of the museum. This popular annual event has something for everyone and is appropriate for children and adults of all ages.
