PUBLIC OUTREACH ACTIVITIES

We have added a number of "Make & Take" Activities to our website, for you to use during your public events around the November 14th Total Solar Eclipse.

"Make & Take" Activities are informal or general education activities that can be adapted for public programs at museums & science centers.

"Make and Take" activities are simple, hands-on, craftsy with easily accessible materials, inexpensive to prepare, and either work as a demonstration or result in a tanglible product that can be taken home.
