Science Camps At Home
Description
KU NHM education and outreach staff invite you to join us online for our free Science Camps at Home program! The KU Natural History Museum is temporarily closed because of the university’s response to the coronavirus, but we are committed to bringing you and your family quality science programs – virtually!
All Science Camp at Home events occur in your home – all you need is a computer and an internet connection. Instructional guides and videos are available on our website for three different science camps! You can also find the camp videos on our Facebook page. The three camps explore three themes: Forensic Fun: Wildlife Forensics, Science-PALOOZA, and Expedition: Forest Floor!

KU Natural History Museum at Dyche Hall
The KU Natural History Museum is located on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence and is home to four floors of public exhibits including the historic Panorama of North American Animals, live snakes and insects, vertebrate and invertebrate fossils, parasites and microbes, and the flora and fauna of the Great Plains. The museum provides content-rich, hands-on informal science learning for school groups in grades K-12 as well as many educational events and programs for KU students, the KU community, and the public. As part of the KU Biodiversity Institute, one of KU’s designated research institutes, the museum protects more than 10 million biological specimens and 1.2 million archaeological artifacts and regularly collaborates with researchers from 13 active research divisions. We inspire curiosity about the natural world through science education and outreach programs for all ages.
