Discover incredible creatures that glow in the dark, survive crushing pressures, and thrive in one of Earth's least-explored environments through hands-on, interactive activities and demonstrations. Explore the technology used to study the ocean's depths, and uncover the secrets hidden miles beneath the surface. Dr. Jenny Dreyer, a marine invertebrate zoologist and curator of the Batten School & VIMS' Invertebrate Collection, will provide an engaging presentation on her past research on deep sea habitats and organisms. Perfect for curious minds of all ages, this event offers a fun and unforgettable adventure into the ocean's final frontier.

Discovery Labs are free, family-friendly programs provided each month by educators at the Batten School & VIMS. Designed with elementary-aged youth and their parents in mind, each lab includes exhibits, demonstrations, and hands-on activities as well as a short presentation (from 6:30-7:00 PM) by an expert on the topic.
