SUMMARY:Turtle Talk at the Discovery Center
DESCRIPTION:A short\, hands-on animal program built for young learners and folded into the regular museum day. Turtle Talk runs an hour in the middle of the afternoon and is a favorite with kids of all ages — close-up time with the animals and a staff member who can answer the fifteen questions that follow. \nThe programming rotates week to week\, so it is worth checking what is on before you go. Included with general admission\, which means if you are already planning a Discovery Center afternoon it costs nothing extra to time your visit around it.

SUMMARY:Creature Connection: Vex123 Snake Run
DESCRIPTION:Each Creature Connection introduces one of the museum's animal ambassadors\, explains what makes it unusual\, and then hands kids a STEAM activity inspired by it. \nThis session features the resident rat snake. Kids program a Vex123 robot to travel a snake's path\, which is a sneaky way to teach sequencing to children who think they are just playing with a robot.
