Program

Join us for a trip around the world as we investigate animal science through popular folktales and legends! In this entirely virtual program, participants travel from East Africa to Brazil and beyond as they hear how the King of the birds was chosen, why Bear has a stumpy tail, and more. Each folktale will have a corresponding animal science focused experiment or activity.

We will send you a series of 4 short, interactive videos to share with your summer reading program participants. These videos will highlight the same animal science that would have been explored during our in-person program. Each video will feature one folktale story and corresponding activity. We will also send written instructions for each project to accompany the videos.

In addition to the videos, libraries have the option to add activity kits to their program.
