For all the Bradenton Community!
Mark your calendars for a FREE, hands-on ocean science night and Earth Day celebration you won't want to miss!
FOR the Planet: Future Ocean Researchers
Join us for an incredible evening where YOUR kids become scientists — hosted in partnership with the experts at Mote Marine Laboratory!
Here's what's in store:
A live scientist spotlight from Mote Marine
Engineering Station – Build your own manatee viewer or rescue transport device!
Kinesthetic Station – Stretch out a manatee's intestines (with rope!) and compare them to elephants AND humans — it's wild!
Craft Station – Create a manatee mask complete with vibrissae (those magical whiskers!)
Tactile Station – Discover how manatees experience touch and vision
Every child takes home a STEAM mini journal to document their discoveries!
And yes — we're ending with a DANCE PARTY
