Did you know that Rikki teaches donation-based Yoga at the Museum most Friday mornings? Classes are from 7:45 - 8:30 AM, upstairs in Heroes Hall - you can't beat the view! It's a great way to kick off your weekend and the practice is accessible for all levels.

You can sign up in advance at https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/a-yNvMUsK3XVi6mT0PEJQQ?t=1729116098 or feel free to just arrive with your mat (we do have a few spares available as well). See you at the Museum!

Did you know gardening is a super accessible way to practice STEM at home?

You may not realize it, but gardening utilizes biology, botany, chemistry, ecology, measuring, mathematics, and more!

Come work on those STEM skills with Darryl every Friday at 9:30 am. This is a free program for anyone who wants to join us in the garden before opening.
