Saturday Science: Science and the City: Celebrating Earth Day

Join us to explore the incredible systems that connect us to the world around us! How do our brains and bodies interact with nature and the environment? What role does science play in understanding the urban ecosystems we live in? Discover these answers and more at this exciting event!

We invite families and community groups to learn how the human body and brain work in harmony with the environment through hands-on activities and unique scientific resources.

This month’s theme is "Science and the City," and we’re celebrating Earth Day with a fun and educational exploration of how science helps us thrive in our cities and beyond!

Saturday Science is generously supported by funds from Apple Bank and the NSF AI Institute for Artificial and Natural Intelligence (ARNI).
