PORT ANGELES — Representatives of the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture will visit the Port Angeles Library from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday to offer a free, interactive science program for children from 3 to 5 years old.
During “Backyard Scientists,” parents and caregivers will learn simple ways to practice science, technology, engineering and math-related skills with the early learners in their lives at the library, 2210 S. Peabody St.
Launched in 2014 with a grant from Thrive Washington, Burke Education developed and implemented early childhood science, technology, engineering and math programming in two Washington communities: Royal City and Port Angeles.
Backyard Scientists is the first in a series of programs designed to encourage children and their families to connect such content with experiences in their daily lives while practicing critical thinking skills through observation.
For more information about this and other programs for youths, contact the Port Angeles Library at 360-417-8500, ext. 7733; visit www.nols.org; or email youth@nols.org.
