Insect Investigations-—Saturday, June 17—–10:30 am – noon
Explore the fascinating world of insects and their habitats. Discover the ways insects move and make a cardboard insect to mimic their unique motions.
Join us for hands-on science experiments and sensory-rich projects in workshops specially designed for children, ages 5–7, with autism spectrum disorder and their parents and siblings.Science Scouts workshops include a small teacher-to-student ratio as students practice focusing/concentration, social cognition, collaboration/teamwork, listening/comprehension skills
and more. Our educators are trained to work with kids with differences.
These free workshops provide opportunities to enjoy family time at the museum in a welcoming, safe and understanding environment, allow parents to network with one another, and help families discover the wonder of science learning together. Materials will include visual schedules, a communication booklet and more.
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. To register and for more information,
