If you like having hands-on experiences in nature, making discoveries, and studying wild animals, then this club is for you! From squirrels to slime molds, come explore the wild side of STEM with Harris Center naturalists Jaime Hutchinson and Susie Spikol. Different women in STEM professions will be highlighted each session, with special guests including a butterfly biologist and a wildlife artist. All events in this series are free of charge. For middle schoolers and up.
Join Susie Spikol — naturalist, author, and founder of LAB GIRLS+ — to discover the science and mythology of fungi. We’ll use techniques such as field sketching, scavenger hunting, and mushroom collecting to explore the diverse and fascinating Fungi Kingdom.
4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Harris Center. Space is limited, and separate registration is required for each Lab Girls+ session. For more information about this particular event, including questions about accessibility, or to be notified about future LAB GIRLS+ events, contact Susie.
