SUMMARY:Art of Science: Animal Tracks and Felt Animals
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Science series is for adults ages 18+ who like to blend science and art. Each program will include hands-on experience with a citizen science project paired with an associated art project. Participants will take home their project\, supplies\, and tools so they can make additional projects on their own. \nIn this program\, we will explore animal tracks and ways to share your observations with scientists as well as make felt animal plushes of your choice. Instructions for collecting and submitting tracks data and making your plushes will be provided during the program — no experience required! Your program fee covers ample supplies to make multiple plushes. \nRegister here
