October’s Inside the Wild explores the fascinating adaptations that make bats unique and essential members of healthy ecosystems. Participants will learn key STEM concepts including echolocation, nocturnal behavior, mammal characteristics, habitat, and food webs, while examining how bats help control insect populations. Through hands-on activities and guided investigation, students will explore how sensory adaptation, wing structure, and energy conservation support survival. This session builds scientific vocabulary, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of why bats matter and how humans can coexist safely and responsibly with them.
