In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how researchers pin and preserve specimens for scientific study and display. Discover what these vital pollinators can reveal about our ecosystems.

This workshop is designed for youth in Grades 5 to 8 (ages 10–14); no previous experience is required. Every participant will receive their own insect to pin and a shadow box to take home.

Note: Due to limited space, this is a drop-off activity; parents cannot accompany participants during the workshop.
