They discover the diversity of the living world and human cultures, see the complexity of the physical world, and understand the connections among these three. This year, over 40 courses will cover topics from Buddhism to sharks, from paper making to plate tectonics. 27 of the courses involve field trips beyond the walls of the Museum, from explorations of the microscopic pond life of Central Park to the world-famous Sterling Hill Mine in New Jersey. They also explore their inner selves with the guidance of a Tibetan Lama and several artists. Through the workshops, students master skills in microscopy and laboratory technique, develop their artistic expression, and meet new friends.
Participants meet scientists, artists, and educators who share their fascination with the world.
Perhaps they will discover a world that will fascinate them for life. Join us on the journey.
