It’s held at the college, but it isn’t just for college students. From kindergarteners
to high schoolers, and adults of all ages, there is something wild and wonderful
here for all curious minds. Who doesn’t like to get up close and personal with
snakes, pet a goldfish, route a stream, or play with a robot or 3-D printer?

Biology, Engineering, Geology, Physics, Honors and the Science Club. Also
featured are a Goldfish Petting Zoo, a Human Boneyard, OUTBREAK – An exhibition
from Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, the Math Science

get answers from the experts . . . while petting a goldfish.
