Program Description

Event Details

Join us for an afternoon of dissection! This hands-on activity covers basic skills and tools (we'll provide equipment and samples), and for this event, we'll be dissecting beef eyeballs and dogfish sharks. This event will be presented by science educator Andrea Martinez.

You'll be using scalpels, so if you're 10-12 years old, we need a parent or guardian with you to help with cutting.

This event is part of our Project Next Generation series.
