Budding Explorers: Insect Investigation
Join the JC Raulston Arboretum for an exciting, hands-on program that will allow children to dive into the fascinating world of entomology. Children, accompanied by an adult, will learn about insects and how they’re different from bugs, create an insect model and go on a scavenger hunt to observe insects in their natural habitats.
They’ll also get an introduction to ecoEXPLORE, an incentive-based community science program developed by the North Carolina Arboretum. Each field season, participants can earn badges and prizes by making real-world observations and completing challenges. There is no need to have an ecoEXPLORE account prior to this program in order to participate.
The program will begin at the Education Yurt at the arboretum. Come dressed in weather-appropriate attire as this program will be held partly outdoors. In the event of inclement weather, activities will be inside. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to equip your young explorers with the knowledge and tools to continue or begin their science journey. This program is for children ages 8-10.
