Event Details

Participants will create their very own fossil by embedding a dinosaur, insect, or plant in faux amber. Using layered translucent soap and a specialized mold for shape, this workshop will give participants a hands-on opportunity to mimic the process of fossilization. Presented by ToshWerks.

Discover the world beneath our feet and learn about plants and animals that lived millions of years ago during our 7th annual Spring into STEAM Event.

Note: Virtual participants will need access to a microwave.
