A variety of science/dna/stem related activities

The Curiosity Cube is a mobile science lab that offers interactive experiments with the goal of increasing access to science education for students aged 8-13. The program includes five Cubes across North America, Europe and Africa, extending our impact beyond the classroom to reach students at schools and families at public events. Local MilliporeSigma employees and partners lead the experiments, allowing students to learn from “real-life” scientists and explore STEM careers.

TBD

The Nat will bring out some fascinating specimens from our collection along with some intriguing naturalist games where participants can practice their scientific skills!
