Ever wanted to build a solar car? Have you wondered what happens at the recycling facility? We’ll spend our mornings learning about and visiting the green technology features of the new Nature Research Center (solar car, rainwater cistern, and green roof to name a few!), and spend our afternoons designing and applying our green building skills in the LEGO® lab. Join us as we partner with Play-well TEKnologies and let your imagination run wild with over 100,000 pieces of LEGO®! Bring your creativity and enthusiasm for conserving the natural world!
