About this event

How do humans learn from animals? We will discover inventions and designs in Copycat: Nature-Inspired Design Around the World by Christy Hale. After stories and songs we will experiment with hook and loop technology! Join us for Science Story Time, an interactive learning experience for young children and caregiver(s). Attendees will join a museum educator to discover exciting science topics through read-aloud picture books, conversations, and songs to support STEM learning for our youngest learners. Then, get hands on with your little one as they get curious, experiment, look closely, and problem solve! What will you notice today?
