Engineering for Animals: Exhibit Design

January 23, 2018 – Tuesday

~Great Lakes Aquarium Science Institute for Educators Original

Great Lakes Aquarium provides an engaging space for students to experience authentic STEM learning. Learn how our resident animals help students explore engineering and develop problem solving skills! Animal exhibit design requires considering multiple perspectives. The Exhibit Design Class can enhance an on-site visit (and many extensions beyond a field trip) challenging students to think critically to engineer and problem solve just like our animal care staff, exhibit designers and conservationists. Guest speakers include two of our very own talented exhibit designers – answering questions like; how we invite visitors to engage with a space, design elements to tell a meaningful story, what animals do need to lead healthy enriched lives, and what is the best way for husbandry staff to clean or feed behind the scenes! All participants in this workshop will qualify to apply for 2 free classes for up to 25 students each!

Cost: Free

Time: 4:30 – 7:00p.m.

CEUs: 2.5 hours
