Explore It! events are back – virtually!

Our Explore It! events are going virtual this year. Meet up with our educators online as they lead live, hands-on activities that you can do with items found around your home. These events are free for members, and $9 (per household) for non members – but everyone needs to register. We’ll send you a Zoom link a few days before the event – all you need to do is join us!
