This is a virtual event! Online registration includes five live digital experiences!
Join us for Wacky and Wild Seussian Science Festival where Literacy and Science Play Together with FUN!
The Festival is chock-full of activities that expand visitors’ understanding of the scientific underpinnings of life—from discovering why leaves are important to trees to developing skills as a bird sleuth. Through live and recorded video, educators help guide visitors in activities. And downloadable worksheets help visitors with experiments and art activities that get their minds working and their bodies outside.
Preregistration is recommended. After registering, check your email for instructions on how to access the virtual content.
